Appropriate time to apply control input to complex dynamical systems

Abstract Controlling a network structure has many potential applications many fields. In order to have an effective network control, not only finding good driver nodes is important, but also finding the optimal time to apply the external control signals to network nodes has a critical role. If appli...
