title: Performance of pinning-controlled synchronization.
abstract: In this work we address the problem of controlling a complex network toward a synchronous evolution by using the pinning-control strategy. In considering this control approach, we investigate the effect of the number of pinned nodes and how the strategy performance behaves in accordance with the type of nodes that are chosen to be controlled. The roles of the control and coupling gains are also discussed.
