Core percolation, a network transition, reveals how a network's core structure dictates its controllability. This study links core formation to control modes and robustness in complex networks.
Area of Science:
- Network science
- Statistical physics
- Control theory
Background:
- Core percolation is a critical structural transition in complex networks.
- Recent advances offer an analytical framework for core percolation in uncorrelated random networks with diverse degree distributions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To apply core percolation analytical tools to network controllability analysis.
- To investigate the relationship between core structure and network control modes.
- To derive analytical expressions for controllability robustness.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing the analytical framework of core percolation.
- Applying network controllability analysis techniques.
- Extending core percolation deductions to controllability robustness.
Main Results:
- Confirmed that the emergence of control bifurcation aligns with core formation.
- Demonstrated that the core structure determines the network's control mode.
- Derived analytical expressions for controllability robustness.
Conclusions:
- The study elucidates the interplay between complex network structure and dynamics.
- Findings provide insights into how core percolation influences network controllability and robustness.

Cyclic Processes And Isolated Systems
In the case of a non-isolated system, the change in the internal energy is zero only if the process is cyclic. A thermodynamic process is considered cyclic if the system undergoes a series of changes and returns to its initial state.
Consider a cyclic process that returns to its initial state, undergoing a four-step process. The heat transfer along each...
