# Synchronization of chaotic systems with time-varying coupling delays

• In this paper, we study the complete synchronization of a class of time-varying delayed coupled chaotic systems using feedback control. In terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities, a sufficient condition is obtained through using a Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and differential equation inequalities. The conditions can be easily verified and implemented. We present two simulation examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
