School of Mathematics, Anhui University, HeFei 230039) Abstract: Cluster synchronization of complex dynamical networks with fractional-order dynamical nodes is discussed in the paper. By using the stability theory of fractional-order differential system and linear pinning control, a sufficient condition for the stability of the synchronization behavior in complex networks with fractional order dynamics is derived. Only the nodes in one community which have direct connections to the nodes in other communities are needed to be controlled, resulting in reduced control cost. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of the obtained result. Numerical simulations illustrate that cluster synchronization performance for fractional-order complex dynamical networks is influenced by inner-coupling matrix, control gain, coupling strength and topological structures of the networks. Keywords: Cluster synchronization; Complex dynamical networks; Fractional-order; Pinning control 0 Introduction In the past few decades, many efforts have been devoted to complex networks due to the wide and potential applications in various fields. Examples includes World Wide Web, communication networks, social organizations, food webs, power grid networks, genetic regulatory networks[1-5], and so on. Specifically, synchronization, as an important and interesting collective behavior of complex networks in our real life, has drawn increasing attention in different fields such as information science, biological system, image processing, secure communication, etc. Up to now, there are many widely studied synchronization patterns, which define the correlated in-time behaviors among the nodes in a dynamical network, such as complete synchronization[6], p
