Abstract
Hybrid models of genetic regulatory networks allow for a simpler analysis with respect to fully detailed quantitative models, still maintaining the main dynamical features of interest. In this paper we consider a piecewise affine model of a genetic regulatory network, in which the parameters describing the production function are affected by polytopic uncertainties. In the first part of the paper, after recalling how the problem of finding a Lyapunov function is solved in the nominal case, we present the considered polytopic uncertain system and then, after describing how to deal with sliding mode solutions, we prove a result of existence of a parameter dependent Lyapunov function subject to the solution of a feasibility linear matrix inequalities problem. In the second part of the paper, based on the previously described Lyapunov function, we are able to determine a set of domains where the system is guaranteed to converge, with the exception of a zero measure set of times, independently from the uncertainty realization. Finally a three nodes network example shows the validity of the results.
