Structural Controllability of Multi-Agent Systems Subject to Partial Failure Saeid Jafari Formation control of multi-agent systems has emerged as a topic of major interest during the last decade, and has been studied from various perspectives using different approaches. This work considers the structural controllability of multiagent systems with leader-follower architecture. To this end, graph...

This paper presents a new strategy to synthesis optimum controllable heat exchanger networks; the proposed strategy consists of four sequential steps: i) Quantification of index of structural controllability. ii) Exergy analysis and normalized irreversibility. iii) Thermal effectiveness of network. iv) Fuzzy analogical gates network and selection of the best weight index. Two analogical gates (...

Core percolation is a fundamental structural transition in complex networks related to a wide range of important problems. Recent advances have provided us an analytical framework of core percolation in uncorrelated random networks with arbitrary degree distributions. Here we apply the tools in analysis of network controllability. We confirm analytically that the emergence of the bifurcation in...

This article investigates observability/controllability of a networked dynamic system (NDS) in which matrices its subsystems are expressed through linear fractional transformations (LFTs). Some relations have been obtained between this NDS and descriptor systems about their observability/controllability. A necessary sufficient condition is established with the associated depending affinely on s...

The topological space of linear, time-invariant systems is considered. A properly of linear systems is called generic if the systems equipped with this property occupy an open and dense subspace of the space of systems. Several generic properties of linear systems are reviewed, including controllability, observability, invertibility, structural stability, as well as some topological properties ...

We study structural properties of linear time-varying discrete-time systems. At rst an associated system on projective space is introduced as a basic tool to understand the linear dynamics. We study controllability properties of this system, and characterize in particular the control sets and their cores. Suucient conditions for an upper bound on the number of control sets with nonempty interio...

Temporal networks are such networks where nodes and interactions may appear and disappear at various time scales. With the evidence of ubiquity of temporal networks in our economy, nature and society, it's urgent and significant to focus on structural controllability of temporal networks, which nowadays is still an untouched topic. We develop graphic tools to study the structural controllabilit...
