<正>In many cases,the topological structures of a complex network are unknown or uncertain,and it is of significance to identify the exact topological structure.An optimization-based method of identifying the topological structure of a complex network is proposed in this paper.Identification of the exact network topological structure is converted into a minimal optimization problem by using the estimated network.Then,an improved quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to solve the optimization problem.Compared with the previous adaptive synchronization-based method,the proposed method is simple and effective and is particularly valid to identify the topological structure of synchronization complex networks.In some cases where the states of a complex network are only partially observable, the exact topological structure of a network can also be identified by using the proposed method.Finally,numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
