Abstract This paper investigates the stability of the equilibria of the piecewise-linear models of genetic regulatory networks on the intersection of the thresholds of all variables. It first studies circling trajectories and derives some stability conditions by quantitative analysis in the state transition graph. Then it proposes a common Lyapunov function for convergence analysis of the piecewise-linear models and gives a simple sign condition. All the obtained conditions are only related to the constant terms on the right-hand side of the differential equation after bringing the equilibrium to zero.
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
