This paper considers synchronization problem of a complex dynamical network with nonidentical nodes. For the problem, the target node is chosen as one of nodes in the complex network instead of an isolate node. Moreover, our synchronization scheme does not need additional conditions and information of coupling matrix comparing with existing works. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, a design criterion for a novel adaptive feedback controller for the synchronization between the target node and another nodes of the complex network is proposed. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a numerical example in orther to show the effectiveness of our results.
