Selection of optimal set of driver nodes based on networked sensitivity in complex networked systems

01 Jan 2017-pp 332-337
TL;DR: This paper develops an algorithm to select the optimal set of driver nodes corresponding to minimum networked sensitivity w.r.t. maximum DC-Gain and a range of frequency.
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the correlation between optimal set of driver nodes and networked sensitivity of Complex Networked Systems (CNS). Here, we study the networked sensitivity between a pair of control and output nodes for interconnected directed and undirected networks. We investigate the importance of the optimal driver nodes based on new index of the networked control system, which is networked sensitivity in the networked system. In this paper, we discuss to select the optimal set of driver nodes corresponding to minimum networked sensitivity w.r.t. (i) maximum DC-Gain and (ii) a range of frequency. In particular, we develop an algorithm to select the optimal set of driver nodes which has minimum networked sensitivity. Finally, we validate theoretical results with the help of network examples.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed analytical tools to study the controllability of an arbitrary complex directed network, identifying the set of driver nodes with time-dependent control that can guide the system's entire dynamics.
Abstract: The ultimate proof of our understanding of natural or technological systems is reflected in our ability to control them. Although control theory offers mathematical tools for steering engineered and natural systems towards a desired state, a framework to control complex self-organized systems is lacking. Here we develop analytical tools to study the controllability of an arbitrary complex directed network, identifying the set of driver nodes with time-dependent control that can guide the system's entire dynamics. We apply these tools to several real networks, finding that the number of driver nodes is determined mainly by the network's degree distribution. We show that sparse inhomogeneous networks, which emerge in many real complex systems, are the most difficult to control, but that dense and homogeneous networks can be controlled using a few driver nodes. Counterintuitively, we find that in both model and real systems the driver nodes tend to avoid the high-degree nodes.

TL;DR: This paper presents a practical design perspective on multivariable feedback control problems and generalizes known single-input, single-output (SISO) statements and constraints of the design problem to multiinput, multioutput (MIMO) cases.
Abstract: This paper presents a practical design perspective on multivariable feedback control problems. It reviews the basic issue-feedback design in the face of uncertainties-and generalizes known single-input, single-output (SISO) statements and constraints of the design problem to multiinput, multioutput (MIMO) cases. Two major MIMO design approaches are then evaluated in the context of these results.
