Abstract:Since complex networks have the interdisciplinary characteristics of communication, computation science and control science, they have attracted a great deal of attention of scholars from all walks of life. Synchronization of complex networks has become a research hot topic. In this paper, we present a brief review on synchronization control of stochastic complex networks. At first, we introduce the research background and significance of the stochastic complex networks, and then summarize the following aspects research progress such as dynamic characteristics of stochastic complex network, topology of stochastic complex networks , constraints of stochastic complex network, synchronization control strategy of stochastic complex networks, synchronizability optimization in stochastic complex networks, and further summarizes the application of stochastic complex networks in many research fields. Based on the analysis of the development of stochastic complex networks, we point out several promising research directions along with some open problems that are deemed important for further investigations.
