Pinning control of cluster synchronization in regular networks
Liang Wang, Yali Guo, Ya Wang, Huawei Fan, Xingang Wang · Physical Review Research · 2020
The authors study the control of cluster synchronization in regular networks by the scheme of pinning couplings. The authors show numerically and mathematically that by changing the number and locations of the pinning nodes, a regular network can be controlled to different cluster synchronization states. This study shows the flexibility of regular networks in generating cluster synchronization, and highlights, from a different perspective, the importance of network symmetry on cluster synchronization.
