Pinning control of directed dynamical networks based on ControlRank
You You Lu, Xiao fan Wang · International Journal of Computer Mathematics · 2008
By applying local feedback injections to a small fraction of network vertices, a dynamical network can be stabilized on a homogeneous equilibrium. However, different pinning strategies may lead to different performances. This paper develops a novel pinning scheme based on ControlRank (CR), which is a vertex centrality index exploring the link structure of the directed networks. Simulation study is given on a scale-free directed dynamical network, which demonstrates that it is much more effective to pin the vertex with largest CR than pin the vertex with largest out-degree.
