摘要

Large scale networks may exhibit complicated dynamical behaviors, such as instability, bifurcation, and chaos. It is not easy to get which nodes or links need to be controlled for ensuring the desired dynamical behavior. This paper presents a detailed analysis on the dynamics and control of a delayed network by a pinning strategy. The network system is first mapped to a simple system by means of an orthogonal transformation. The control signals are then exerted only on a fraction of nodes in the transformed system. We analyze how to get the desired dynamics of the original controlled system (such as zeros solutions, periodic solutions, quasi-periodic solutions and chaos) via controlling the transformed system. It shows that the solutions of the original system can be obtained by the local dynamical behavior exhibiting in the transformed system. The results show that the proposed pinning control strategy is an effective approach for dynamics control.
