The issue of synchronization between dynamical systems has attracted much attention, and the systems with integer-order dynamical networks have been well studied. The synchronous behavior of fractional-order dynamical systems is very interesting and importance, but has rarely been studied. In this paper, we studied the synchronization and anti-synchronization behavior between integer-order dynamical networks and fractional-order dynamical systems via a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. Remarkably, there is synchronous behavior in such a system, and this is dramatically different from the behavior of integer-order dynamical networks. Moreover, we studied the impact of different coupling strengths on the dynamical process of synchronization and robustness of the designed controller to different coupling functions, different dimensions of dynamical equations and different fractional orders. Finally, we propose the theoretical analysis, which coincides well with the numerical simulations of five typical examples.
