This paper deals with the chaos synchronization problem for a class of nonlinear pendulum-like systems with multiple equilibria. Based on the method of periodic Lyapunov functions, linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulations are established to guarantee the stable synchronization of both master and slave pendulum-like systems by feedback control technique. Finally, a concrete application to phase-locked loop (PLL) shows the applicability and validity of the proposed approach.
