Abstract

In this article a non-autonomous unified chaotic system with continuous periodic switch between the Chen and Lorenz systems is introduced. Dynamical behaviors of this system are investigated. We consider the identical (complete) synchronization of the bi-directionally coupled between two identical systems of this type and then analyze its stability by estimating the entire Lyapunov characteristic exponent spectrum. Numerical and graphical works are done with Mathematica.
