Abstract
This talk first introduces the fundamental concepts and principal methodologies of pinning control in complex networks. It then addresses the state controllability and structural controllability of directed networks composed of nodes modeled as linear time-invariant homogeneous systems. For the single-input single-output (SISO) case, the principle of the minimum pinning control inputs, controllability criteria, and characteristic descriptions are presented. The discussion further extends to the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) case, highlighting its diversity and complexity, and providing the corresponding controllability criteria and characterizations. Subsequently, the problem of sampling-based pinning controllability in networks is examined. Finally, the talk establishes the necessary and sufficient conditions for sampling-based pinning controllability of networks with heterogeneous MIMO nodes.
