Nodal Dynamics, Not Degree Distributions, Determine the Structural Controllability of Complex Networks


Nodal Dynamics, Not Degree Distributions, Determine the Structural Controllability of Complex Networks is a scholarly work by Noah J. Cowan and Carl Bergstrom, published in 2012 in ''PLOS One''. The main subjects of the publication include complex network, Network controllability, unobservable entity, computer science, complex system, electronic circuit topology, observability, gene expression, Degree distribution, control in organization management, set, controllability, mathematics, dual, and control theory. The authors argue that more important than issues of structural controllability are the questions of whether a system is almost uncontrollable, whether it is almost unobservable, and whether it possesses almost pole-zero cancellations.
