Boolean differential calculus
open-in-new
<p> Boolean differential calculus (BDC) (German: <i>Boolescher Differentialkalkül</i> (BDK)) is a subject field of <a href="/facts/Boolean_algebra/VkCToAmg">Boolean algebra</a> discussing changes of <a href="/facts/Boolean_variable/0GWYLDoC">Boolean variables</a> and <a href="/facts/Boolean_function/uT7E8pqC">Boolean functions</a>. </p><p>Boolean differential calculus concepts are analogous to those of classical <a href="/facts/Differential_calculus/uU1AAc4N">differential calculus</a>, notably studying the changes in functions and variables with respect to another/others. </p><p>The Boolean differential calculus allows various aspects of <a href="/facts/Dynamical_systems_theory/LM6aDhV0">dynamical systems theory</a> such as </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Automata_theory/Q6BmPv63">automata theory</a> on <a href="/facts/Finite_automata/GMusWd0a">finite automata</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Petri_net_theory/BK7eTHNm">Petri net theory</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Supervisory_control_theory/S8F7epNd">supervisory control theory</a> (SCT)</li></ul> <p>to be discussed in a united and closed form, with their individual advantages combined. </p>
