In this paper,the global synchronization problem of general linear complex networks is analyzed by combining the event-triggered control strategy with the aperiodically intermittent pinning control scheme.By designing an event-triggered condition and the rules for selecting the controlled nodes,the pinning node set can be updated under certain conditions,which not only greatly improves the efficiency of networks synchronization,but also avoids the deficiencies caused by random selection of controlled node set in existing research.Furthermore,a simple Lyapunov function is constructed,and the stability theory and differential inequality are applied,some sufficient conditions for the asymptotically exponential synchronization of the networks are obtained through rigorous mathematical analysis.At the same time,the infinitely fast switching of the pinning node set is also avoided.
