The lack of studying the complex organization directed network usually limits understanding underlying relationship between structures and functions. Structural controllability structural predictability, two seemingly unrelated subjects, are revealed in this article to be both highly dependent on critical links previously thought only able influence number driver nodes controllable networks. He...

The question of controllability of natural and man-made network systems has recently received considerable attention. In the context of the human brain, the study of controllability may not only shed light into the organization and function of different neural circuits, but also inform the design and implementation of minimally invasive yet effective intervention protocols to treat neurological...

An important issue for temporal planners is the ability to handle temporal uncertainty. Recent papers have addressed the question of how to tell whether a temporal network is Dynamically Controllable, Le., whether the temporal requirements are feasible in the light of uncertain durations of some processes. Previous work has presented an O ( N 5 ) algorithm for testing this property. Here, we in...

Controllability of complex networks has attracted much attention, and understanding the robustness of network controllability against potential attacks and failures is of practical significance. In this paper, we systematically investigate the attack vulnerability of network controllability for the canonical model networks as well as the real-world networks subject to attacks on nodes and edges...

It is well known that the issue of controllability plays an important role in control theory and engineering (see [1]-[5]) because they have close connections to pole assignment, structural decomposition, quadratic optimal control, observer design etc. In recent years, the problem of controllability for various kinds of differential and impulsive differential systems has been extensively studie...
