This study explores the synchronization issue for uncertain multi-link complex networks incorporating stochastic characteristics and hybrid delays. Unlike previous works, internal delays, coupling delays, and stochastic delays considered in our model change over time; meanwhile, the impulse strength and position change with time evolution. To actualize network synchronization, a strategy called hybrid impulsive pinning control is applied, which combines the virtue of impulsive control and pinning control as well as two categories of impulses (i.e., synchronization and desynchronization). By decomposing the complicated topological structures into diagonal items and off-diagonal items, multiple nonlinear coupling terms are linearly decomposed in the process of theoretical analysis. Combining inequality technology and matrix decomposition theory, several novel synchronization criteria have been gained to ensure synchronization for the concerning multi-link model. The criteria get in touch with the uncertain strengths, coupling strengths, hybrid impulse strengths, delay sizes, impulsive intervals, and network topologies.
