Pinning control and robustness of complex dynamical networks

Guanrong Chen
City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong

In this talk, we introduce the basic notion of pinning control for complex dynamical networks, and study the network controllability. Then, we discuss the robustness of the network controllability against malicious destructive attacks. Finally, we describe a machine learning approach to optimizing the network structure toward strong controllability robustness.
