Dynamical Coarse Graining of Large Scale-Free Boolean networks
  We present a renormalization-grouplike method performed in the state space for detecting the dynamical behaviors of large scale-free Boolean networks, especially for the chaotic regime as well as the edge of chaos. Numerical simulations with different coarse-graining level show that the state space networks of scale-free Boolean networks follow universal power-law distributions of in and out strength, in and out degree, as well as weight. These interesting results indicate scale-free Boolean networks still possess self-organized mechanism near the edge of chaos in the chaotic regime. The number of state nodes as a function of biased parameter for distinct coarse-graining level also demonstrates that the power-law behaviors are not the artifact of coarse-graining procedure. Our work may also shed some light on the investigation of brain dynamics.
