In this paper, the exponential synchronization is investigated for stochastic complex networks with time-varying delays via periodically intermittent pinning control. By utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory, stochastic analysis theory as well as linear matrix inequalities (LMI), the sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential synchronization. Furthermore, the complex networks considered in this paper are more general than the models in previous works. Therefore, the application scope is enlarged. And the result is computationally efficient for the obtained condition. The numerical simulation is provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
