= Network controllability
{wiki=Network_controllability}
Network controllability refers to the ability to steer a dynamic network from any initial state to any desired final state within a finite amount of time, by using appropriate control inputs. This concept is crucial in various fields, including control engineering, network science, and systems biology. In a mathematical sense, consider a network represented as a system of ordinary differential equations, where the state of the network is defined by its nodes (or agents) and their interconnections (edges).
