An overview about pinning control of complex networks

Synchronization and pinning control of complex networks is to regulate the agents' behavior and improve network performance. In this article, we review some recent developments in pinning control. Stability algorithms and pining strategies in different types of complex networks are presented and compared. Adaptive pinning control is also summarized. In addition, the research extended to discrete-time case is reviewed. As some related research, the development in consensus and flocking of multi-agent system are introduced briefly. At last, we give some ideas about pinning control in social networks.
