In this article, the pinning synchronization problem of complex networks with a target node via sampled-data communications is considered. Due to partial couplings among the nodes in complex networks, a decoupling method is adopted to investigate each channel of complex networks independently. By constructing a time-dependent Lyapunov function, it is proved that the pinning synchronization of complex networks with a target node can be achieved if the control parameters are appropriately selected. Furthermore, further study is needed to investigate the pinning synchronization of complex networks in the presence of constant delay. A novel criterion is obtained using Jensen’s inequality and Wirtinger’s inequality. It is worth noting that the lower and upper bounds of the sampling intervals can be calculated by linear matrix inequality box of MATLAB. Theoretical results are well verified through a numerical simulation.
