Abstract

In this paper, we deal with the following decision problem: given a conjunctive Boolean network defined by its interaction digraph, does it have a limit cycle of a given length k? We prove that this problem is NP-complete in general if k is a parameter of the problem and is in P if the interaction digraph is strongly connected. The case where k is fixed, but the interaction digraph is not strongly connected, remains open. Furthermore, we study some variations of the decision problem: given a conjunctive Boolean network, does there exist a block-sequential (resp. sequential) update schedule such that there is a limit cycle of length k? We prove that these problems are NP-complete for any fixed constant \(k \ge 2\).
