Abstract This study investigates the problem of cluster generalized outer synchronization in community networks via pinning control with two different switch periods. Several pinning controllers have been designed to achieve linear generalized outer synchronization. Using Lyapunov stability theory, sufficient linear generalized outer synchronization criteria for community networks are derived. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
