It is well known that if a network topology is a path or line and the states of vertices or nodes evolve according to the consensus policy, then the network is Laplacian controllable by an input connected to its terminal vertex. In this work a path is regarded as the resulting graph after interconnecting a finite number of two-vertex antiregular graphs and then possibly connecting one more vertex. It is shown that the single-input Laplacian controllability of a path can be extended to the case of interconnecting a finite number of k-vertex antiregular graphs with or without one more vertex appended, for any positive integer k. The methods to interconnect these antiregular graphs and to select the vertex for connecting the single input that renders the network Laplacian controllable are presented as well.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
