Abstract: In most conventional complex network equilibrium-pinning control, all the network nodes are usually balanced by attaching at least one controller to each node of the concerned network. When the node number is huge and the inter-node connections are complex, this control strategy requires the ability to manipulate the inter-node coupling strength to grow rapidly and intensively. In practical applications, however, the inter-node coupling strength cannot be increased unlimitedly; as a matter of fact, the coupling strength cannot be further changed after reaching some saturation threshold. In this paper, by exploiting the improved coupling strength saturation function, we suggest a new pinning control strategy that makes the network reach its equilibrium-pinning point more effectively than the network with saturated coupling strength. Numerical examples are illustrated to show the effectiveness of the main results.
