Abstract

This paper deals with controllability of dynamical networks. It is often unfeasible or unnecessary to fully control large-scale networks, which motivates the control of a prescribed subset of agents of the network. This specific form of output control is known under the name target control. We consider target control of a family of linear control systems associated with a network, and provide both a necessary and a sufficient topological condition under which the network is strongly targeted controllable. Furthermore, a leader selection algorithm is presented to compute leader sets achieving target control.
