Outer synchronization between the drive network and the response network has attracted much more attention in various fields of science and engineering. In this paper, mixed outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes and output coupling is investigated via impulsive hybrid control, that is, an adaptive feedback controller with impulsive control effects. Moreover, both the cases of complex networks without and with coupling delay are considered. According to the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, several sufficient conditions for the networks to achieve mixed outer synchronization are derived. Numerical examples are presented finally to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.
