Generalized synchronization (GS) of two chaotic systems is a generalization of identical synchronization. Usually, the manifold of GS is such more complex than the driven system and the driving system. In this paper, we study a special case of GS in which the synchronization manifold is linear (linear GS for short). In a theorem, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a linear GS can be achieved between two chaotic systems. In particular, we study the linear GS of two Chua's circuits.
