  In this paper, synchronization of identical switched chaotic systems is
explored based on Lyapunov theory of guaranteed stability. Concepts from robust
control principles and switched linear systems are merged together to derive a
sufficient condition for synchronization of identical master-slave switched
nonlinear chaotic systems and are expressed in the form of bilinear matrix
inequalities (BMIs). The nonlinear controller design problem is then recast in
the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to facilitate numerical
computation by standard LMI solvers and is illustrated by appropriate examples.
