This book studies the important notion of controllability robustness for complex dynamical networks in the linear or linearized settings. Chapter 1 provides an overview of network controllability and controllability robustness, as well as some preliminaries and research problems. Chapter 2 introduces the basic concept and knowledge of network controllability, covering definitions, computational methods, and evaluation metrics. It explores key topological features of the controllability rob...

This book provides a gradual introduction to the naming game, starting from the minimal naming game, where the agents have infinite memories (Chapter 2), before moving on to various new and advanced settings: the naming game with agents possessing finite-sized memories (Chapter 3); the naming game with group discussions (Chapter 4); the naming game with learning errors in communications (Chapter 5) ; the naming game on multi-community networks (Chapter 6) ; the naming game with multiple wo...
