ABSTRACT In this paper, the nonuniform sampled‐data feedback control (NSDFC) is introduced to achieve the general partial synchronization (GPS) of drive‐response Boolean control networks (BCNs). Firstly, using the Hamming distance between two Boolean vectors, a formal definition of the GPS with at least synchronized nodes is proposed. Secondly, by employing the semi‐tensor product (STP) of matrices, several criteria are obtained to determine whether a drive‐response BCN can achieve GPS under NSDFC. Subsequently, the design scheme of NSDFC is derived via the truth matrix method. Finally, the obtained results are verified by an illustrative example.
