Optimized Control of Duplex Networks
Many real-world complex systems can be modeled as multiplex networks, where each layer represents a distinct set of interactions among the same entities. Controlling such systems-steering them toward desired states using external inputs-is crucial across many domains. However, existing network control theory largely focuses on single-layer networks, and applying separate controls to each layer of a multiplex system often leads to redundant sets of driver nodes, increasing cost and complexity. …
