Analysis of the influence factors of the target control efficiencies of SF networks. (a) The overall control efficiency \(\varepsilon \) on the driver nodes for SF networks varies with the average degree \(\langle k\rangle \) for different degree exponents Îł in the random scheme. (b) The overall control efficiency \(\varepsilon \) on the driven edges for SF networks varies with the average degree \(\langle k\rangle \) for different degree exponents Îł in the random scheme. (c) The overall control efficiency \(\varepsilon \) on the driver nodes for SF networks varies with the average degree \(\langle k\rangle \) for different degree exponents Îł in the local scheme. (d)The overall control efficiency \(\varepsilon \) on the driven edges for SF networks varies with the average degree \(\langle k\rangle \) for different degree exponents Îł in the local scheme. In (a,b), the efficiencies of the driver nodes and the driven edges increase monotonically with the degree exponents. Most of the efficiency of the driver nodes are negative, and they first decrease and then increase. However, the efficiencies of the driven edges are nearly positive, and they have the same trend as the driver nodes. In the local scheme, though we have the same situation as in the random scheme, the local control outperforms the random control.
