0[ INTRODUCTION
Synchronization in chaotic dynamical systems has been a theme in nonlinear sciences for several years ð0Ð04Ł\ and received considerable attention recently[ Some theorems have been established and some approaches have been proposed[ Nevertheless\ it is necessary to clarify the ideas behind these theorems and approaches " for example the theorem in ð04Ł is only true under more rigorous mathematical conditions#\ and put them on a rigorous mathematical foundation[ The objective of this note is to discuss some mathematical problems which are fundamental in synchronization theory[

On the other hand\ Dy¾ "t# is continuous\ then Dy"t#:9 leads to Dy¾ "t#:9 as t:\ a contradiction[ Hence f"z#`"z\z#\ and the de_nition of synchronization implies that "04# is asymptotical stable[ For {if| part\ by the conditions given in this theorem\ the following holds lim "`"x"t\x9 #\x"t\x9 ##−f"x"t\x9 ##9\

and Lemma 0 show that the solution to "05# approaches 9 as t goes to in_nity[ The proof is completed[ Theorem 1[ Let x"m\x9# and y"m\y9# be the solutions to "2# and "3# respectively[ If y"m\y9# can synchronize with x"m\x9# then F"x#G"x\x#\x$v"x9 #

3[ FURTHER DISCUSSION
The results of previous section indicate that if synchronization is expected to occur with respect to a trajectory x"t\x9# of drive system\ then the identity of drive and response systems on omega set v"x9# is to be met\ not necessarily in the whole space or in a domain of phase space[ In the case that one hopes the synchronization to occur for almost every trajectory of drive system\ the identity of drive and response systems should be hold on the so called likely limit set VV"f# " for the de_nition see ð05Ł#[
