Abstract

In this paper, pinning control in a system of moving agents (each one associated with a chaotic dynamical system) was investigated. In particular, we studied and compared two different strategies for pinning control and discussed the nontrivial relation between synchronization and chaotic agent control. Our results show how system parameters such as agent density are critical in order to reach synchronous agent behavior as well as to reach global control of the system by pinning a reduced set of agents.
