In this paper, the issues of both reconstructibility analysis and state estimation are investigated for locally reconstructible Boolean networks (BNs), where the pinning control is employed to design a special control sequence. First, this paper will focus on dealing with state unreconstructible cycle based on state set-estimation theory, and the concept of set-to-set reachability is proposed. Second, the locally reconstructible BNs are transformed to Boolean control networks (BCNs) by pinning control technique, where a logical matrix is designed by a special algorithm such that all states in the unreconstructible initial state set can evolve into the reconstructible state set, simultaneously. Third, a sufficient condition for the existence of a free Boolean control sequence is obtained, which guarantees that a locally reconstructible BN can be transformed into a reconstructible one. Besides, an optimization control algorithm is proposed to generate pinning control sequence and further optimize the reconstructibility of BNs. A kind of pinning control-based state estimation method is also developed. Finally, an example is provided to show the feasibility of the proposed methods.
