Global entrainment of transcriptional systems to periodic inputs. Russo, G., di Bernardo, M., & Sontag, E. PLoS Computational Biology, 6:e1000739, 2010.
abstract   bibtex   
This paper addresses the problem of giving conditions for transcriptional systems to be globally entrained to external periodic inputs. By using contraction theory, a powerful tool from dynamical systems theory, it is shown that certain systems driven by external periodic signals have the property that all solutions converge to fixed limit cycles. General results are proved, and the properties are verified in the specific case of some models of transcriptional systems.
