In this paper, synchronization of a network coupled with complex-variable chaotic systems is investigated. Adaptive feedback control and intermittent control schemes are adopted for achieving adaptive synchronization and exponential synchronization, respectively. Several synchronization criteria are established. In these schemes, the outer coupling matrix is not necessarily assumed to be symmetric or irreducible. Further, for a class of networks with an irreducible and balanced outer coupling matrix, a pinning control scheme is adopted for achieving synchronization. Numerical simulations are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
