This paper investigates the fixed-time synchronization (FDTS) of complex networks with stochastic perturbations. A new control scheme is designed to realize the synchronization goal. Moreover, the designed controller without sign function is continuous, which means the chattering phenomenon in some previous results can be avoided. By constructing Lyapunov functionals, using the properties of the Weiner process as well as applying a designed comparison system, several FDTS criteria are obtained. Synchronization criteria of this paper are very general and can be utilized in directed and undirected weighted networks. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.
