    Abstract

  • This paper addresses the problem of the input design of large-scale complex networks. Two types of network components, redundant inaccessible strongly connected component (RISCC) and intermittent inaccessible strongly connected component (IISCC) are defined, and a subnetwork called a driver network is developed. Based on these, an efficient method is proposed to find the minimum number of controlled nodes to achieve structural complete controllability of a network, in the case that each input can act on multiple state nodes. The range of the number of input nodes to achieve minimal control, and the configuration method (the connection between the input nodes and the controlled nodes) are presented. All possible input solutions can be obtained by this method. Moreover, we give an example and some experiments on real-world networks to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.
