This article focuses on finite-time passivity (FTP) and finite-time synchronization (FTS) for complex dynamical networks with multiple state/derivative couplings based on the proportional-derivative (PD) control method. Several criteria of FTP for complex dynamical networks with multiple state couplings (CDNMSCs) are formulated by utilizing the PD controller and constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function. Furthermore, FTP is further used to investigate the FTS in CDNMSCs under the PD controller. In addition, the FTP and FTS for complex dynamical networks with multiple derivative couplings (CDNMDCs) are also studied by exploiting the PD control method and some inequality techniques. Finally, two numerical examples are worked out to demonstrate the validity of the presented PD controllers.
