A kind of synchronization controller for Liu chaotic systems whose nonlinear components are subject to Lipschitz condition was proposed. By using Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality technique, a self-adaptive synchronization controller was constructed for Liu chaotic systems. There are two components of our derived synchronization controller: linear and nonlinear component. Linear component is composed of errors of the state variables between driving-systems and responding-stems, and nonlinear component is a self-adaptive synchronization controller. a proof was given for proving the feasibility of this method, and numerical simulations of Liu chaotic systems show its effectiveness. Furthermore, this method can be applied to other chaotic systems, such as Chen systems, Lorenz systems, Chua systems and Rssler systems,etc.
