Most real-world networks display not only a heterogeneous distribution of degrees, but also a heterogeneous distribution of weights in the strengths of the connections. Each of these heterogeneities alone has been shown to suppress…
In this paper, the problem of pinning control for synchronization of complex dynamical networks is discussed. A cost function of the controlled network is defined by the feedback gain and the coupling strength of the network. An interesting…
