Pinning control

Pinning Synchronization Control Performance

In this work we address the problem of controlling a complex network toward a synchronous evolution by using pinning control strategy. Considering this control approach, we investigate the effect of the number of pinned nodes and how the strategy performance behaves in accordance with the type of nodes that are chosen as the ones over which the control is applied. The roles of the control and c...

Pinning Control of Spatiotemporal Chaos

Linear control theory is used to develop an improved localized control scheme for spatially extended chaotic systems, which is applied to a coupled map lattice as an example. The optimal arrangement of the control sites is shown to depend on the symmetry properties of the system, while their minimal density depends on the strength of noise in the system. The method is shown to work in any regio...

Probabilistic synchronisation of pinning control

Hybrid pinning Control for Complex Networks

Pinning control techniques have been effectively applied for the synchronization of complex networks. In this work we proposed two different hybrid pinning control strategies that guarantee not only the synchronization of the entire network but the synchronization onto a known desired solution.

Reaching a consensus via pinning control

The consensus problem in a multi-agent system with general nonlinear coupling is investigated in this paper. It is demonstrated that, under suitable conditions on communication, all agents approach a prescribed value if a small fraction of them are controlled by simple feedback control. The stability analysis is based on a blend of graph-theoretic and system-theoretic tools where the contractio...
