The finite-time pinning synchronization control problem is studied for coupled complex networks with time-varying delays. Based on the finite-time stability theorem, a finite-time tractive synchronous controller is designed. In addition, the selection process of tractive nodes is developed to control as few nodes as possible such that all nodes are synchronized in the network in finite time. At the same time, sufficient conditions of the finite-time constraint synchronization of the
