Abstract

This paper investigates optimal target control of complex networks through modifications in network topology. A novel edge-addition algorithm is proposed to ensure structural target controllability in directed networks with a single input. An edge-addition cost is introduced to measure the efficiency of achieving target control objectives. The relationships between the target node selection and the average node degree, respectively, and the edge-addition cost are examined by numerical simulations. It concludes that both the choice of target nodes and the average node degree significantly influence the cost-effectiveness of achieving target control. These findings offer valuable insights for the design of optimal networks in practical applications.
