Enhancing Resilience of Strong Structural Controllability in Leader-Follower Networks

Abstract

This paper explores measures of edge augmentation to enhance resilience of strong structural controllability for control systems modeled as leader-follower networks. Unlike existing methods which typically increase the number of leaders, the proposed approach achieves resilience by strategically adding edges, thus maintaining leader sets with a small cardinality. Using the zero forcing method, conditions are derived to enhance resilience either for specific agents or for the entire network. Numeric simulations validate the approach and show its effectiveness in large and complex networks.
