Uncovering and classifying the role of driven nodes in control of complex networks

Abstract The widely used Maximum Matching (MM) method identifies the minimum driver nodes set to control biological and technological systems. Nevertheless, it is assumed in the MM approach that one driver node can send control signal to multiple target nodes, which might not be appropriate in certa...
