In practice, real-world networks consist of a large number of vertices and one may only be able to perform a control on a fraction of them only. Controllability of such systems has been addressed in [17], where it was reformulated as a global asymptotic stability problem. The goal of this short note is to refine the analysis proposed in [17] using recent results in singular value perturbation theory. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-02392542/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-02392542/file/a69e5f87-4cab-480a-8da6-effd36f9fb2d-author.pdf %L hal-02392542 %U https://hal.science/hal-02392542 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-FCOMTE %~ UNIV-BM %~ ENSMM %~ FEMTO-ST %~ UNIV-BM-THESE %~ TDS-MACS
