This paper studied the hybrid projective synchronization (HPS) in fractional-order complex networks. By means of the stability theorem of fractional-order systems and nonlinear control idea, we proposed an appropriate nonlinear controller to achieve the synchronization for complex networks. The controller was designed to make the fractional-order complex dynamical networks with distinct nodes asymptotically synchronize onto any smooth goal dynamics. Moreover, the corresponding simulations agreed well with the theoretical results.
