Strong Structural Controllability of Signed Networks
In this paper, we discuss the controllability of a family of linear
time-invariant (LTI) networks defined on a signed graph. In this direction, we
introduce the notion of positive and negative signed zero forcing sets for the
controllability analysis of positive and negative eigenvalues of system
matrices with the same sign pattern. A sufficient combinatorial condition that
ensures the strong structural controllability of signed networks is then
proposed. Moreover, an upper bound on the maximum multiplicity of positive and
negative eigenvalues associated with a signed graph is provided
