Abstract Recently, complex networks have attracted a great deal of attention in various fields of nature and society. In this paper, an adaptive feedback control scheme is introduced to synchronize a general complex dynamical network with time‐varying delay. By construction of Lyapunov functional, we deduce that global synchronization of the network model can be guaranteed by the proposed control scheme. Numerical simulation illustrated by a three‐node network shows that the adaptive feedback control scheme can ensure adaptive synchronization of the controlled network even without the information of network topological structure and coupling strength.
