The exponential synchronization and sampled-data controller problem for a class of neutral complex dynamical networks (NCDNs) with Markovian jump parameters, partially unknown transition rates and delays, is investigated in this paper. Both the discrete and neutral delays are considered to be interval mode dependent and time varying, while the sampling period is assumed to be time varying and bounded. Based on a new augmented stochastic Lyapunov functional, the delay-range-dependent and rate-dependent exponential stability conditions for the closed-loop error system are obtained by the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory and reciprocally convex lemma. Then according to the proposed exponential stability conditions, the sampled-data synchronization controllers are designed in terms of the solution to linear matrix inequalities that can be solved effectively by using Matlab. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods.
