Abstract: This paper deals with controllability of complex networks. An index is chosen to quantitatively measure controllability of given network. The effect of this index is analyzed mainly based on empirical studies on various classes of network topologies, such as random network, small-world network, and scale-free network. Such an endeavor could help to enable the comparison of controllability between different network topologies.
