I. INTRODUCTION In he ls decdes, due o he incresing progress in genome sequencing nd gene recogniion, geneic regulory neworks (GRNs hve become significn re in biologicl nd biomedicl sciences. However, here sill eiss lrge gp beween he genome sequencing nd he undersnding of gene funcions which hve become chllenge problems in sysem biology. A gre moun of eperimenl resuls show h mhemicl modeling of GRNs cn be powerful ool for reserching he gene regulion process nd discovering comple srucure of biologicl orgnism [] []. Generlly, here re wo bsic models for GRNs: Boolen model (discree-ime model [], [5] nd differenil equion model (coninuous-ime model [6] [8]. Differenil equion model describes he chnge res of he concenrions of mrnas nd proeins. Furhermore, differenil equion model hs been mos frequenly uilized since i cn more precisely describe Y. Hn, X.

In biologicl sysems, priculrly in GRNs, sbiliy is he mos significn nd essenil dynmicl behviors [9] []. I is reled o no only he srucure nd funcion of n orgnism bu lso he srengh nd chrcerisics of he eernl disurbnces. In ddiion, s i is well known, ime delys cused by he slow processes of rnscripion nd rnslion in rel GRNs. I hs been well shown from presen reserch resuls h ime dely my led o insbiliy, bifurcion or oscillion for sysems [] [6]. However, mhemicl modeling of GRNs wihou inroducing delys will led o wrong predicions of he concenrions of mrnas nd proeins. Therefore, he problem of sbiliy nlysis for biologicl sysems wih ime delys hs sirred incresing reserch ineress nd gre del of ecellen resuls hs been repored in lierure in recen decdes (see, e.g., [7], [8], [7] []. In some mhemicl modeling, i is implicily ssumed h he geneic regulory sysems re spilly homogeneous, nmely, he concenrions of mrna nd proein re homogenous in spce ll imes. However, here re some siuions in which hese ssumpions re no resonble. For insnce, i migh be necessry o consider he diffusion of regulory proeins from one comprmen o noher [], [] [5]. In his siuion, he generl funcionl differenil equion model cn no precisely describe geneic regulory process more or less. Hence, i is imperive o inroduce reciondiffusion erms in mhemicl modeling of GRNs. To he bes of uhors knowledge, he delyed GRNs wih reciondiffusion erms re only sudied in [5] [8]. M e l. [7] inroduced recion-diffusion erms o GRNs for he firs ime nd esblished dely-dependen sympoic sbiliy crieri. Bsed on he Lypunov funcionl mehod, Zhou, Xu nd Shen [6] invesiged finie-ime robus sochsic sbiliy crieri for uncerin GRNs wih ime-vrying delys nd reciondiffusion erms. Hn nd Zhng [5], [8] grdully improved M e l. s resuls by inroducing novel Lypunov Krsovskii funcionl nd employing Jensen s inequliy, Wiringer s inequliy, Green s ideniy, conve combinion pproch nd reciproclly conve combinion (RCC pproch. In comple biologicl neworks such s neurl neworks nd GRNs, i is ofen he cse h only pril informion bou he ses of he nodes is vilble in he nework oupus. In order o undersnd biologicl neworks beer, i is indispensble o esime he ses of he nodes hrough

However, o he bes of he uhors knowledge, here is sill no ny published resul on he se esimion problem for GRNs wih ime-vrying delys nd recion-diffusion erms, which rouses our reserch ineress. Moived by bove discussion, we im o invesige he se esimion problem for GRNs wih ime-vrying delys nd recion-diffusion erms. By inroducing new inegrl erms ino novel Lypunov Krsovskii funcionl nd employing Wiringer-bsed inegrl inequliy, Wiringer s inequliy, Green s ideniy, conve combinion pproch nd RCC pproch, n sympoic sbiliy crierion of he error sysem is esblished in erms of LMIs. Thereby, se observer is designed, nd he observer gin mrices re described in erms of he soluion o se of LMIs. The res of he pper is orgnized s follows: he problem is formuled nd some preliminries re given in Secion ; in Secion, n sympoic sbiliy crierion for he error sysem is esblished, nd n pproch o design se observer is proposed; wo numericl emples re provided in Secion ; nd finlly, we conclude his pper in Secion 5.

The iniil condiions ssocied wih GRN ( re given s follows: m i (s, = φ i (s,,, s [ d,],i n, p i (s, = φ i (s,,, s [ d,],i n, where d = m{σ,τ}, nd φ i (s,, φ i (s, C ([ d,],r. In his pper, he following ype of boundry condiions (Dirichle boundry condiions is considered: nd m i (, =,, [ d,+, p i (, =,, [ d,+. Now, we ssume h m ( := col(m (,m (,...,m n ( p ( := col(p (,p (,...,p n( re he unique equilibrium soluion of GRN (, h is, = ( l m i D ( k i m i( k + n j= w ijg j (p j (+q i, = ( l D p i ( k c i p i (+b im i ( k fori n.

In order o obin he rue se of (, i becomes necessry o esime he ses of he nodes hrough nework mesuremens. The vilble mesuremens re given s follows: { zm (, = M m(,, ( z p (, = N p(,, where z m (, nd z p (, re he cul mesuremen oupus, nd M nd N re known consn mrices wih pproprie dimensions. To esime he ses of GRN ( hrough vilble mesuremen oupus in (, we consruc he following se observer: ˆm(, ˆp(, = ( l ˆm(, D k +Wf(ˆp( σ(, +K [z m (, M ˆm(,], = ( l D ˆp(, k Aˆm(, Cˆp(, +Bˆm((, +K [z p (, Nˆp(,], (5 where ˆm(, nd ˆp(, re he esimions of m(, nd p(,, respecively, nd K nd K re he observer gin mrices o be designed ler.
