PINNING SYNCHRONIZATION CONTROL PERFORMANCE

Abstract

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 coupling gains are also discussed. Palavras-chave: Complex networks, pinning control, synchronization performance
