In this paper, the fixed-time pinning synchronization problem of an intermittently coupled complex network is investigated. An intermittently coupled complex network with delay is presented for the first time. A new fixed-time stability lemma is developed, which is less conservative than the existing results. A more economical controller is designed under intermittent pinning control strategy. Sufficient conditions are developed to realize fixed-time synchronization. Numerical simulations are conducted to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the obtained results.
