Abstract. This paper focuses on the scaling synchronization issue of a 6D hyperchaotic system with one or three equilibria which is obtained by controlling a 5D hyperchaotic system that is formed by adding a linear feedback controller and a nonlinear feedback controller to the Lorenz system. When the parameters are known in advance, applying the one-way linear coupling approach to synchronize the 6D hyperchaotic system up to a scaling factor. When the parameters are fully unknown, utilizing the adaptive method to synchronize the uncertain 6D hyperchaotic system up to a scaling factor. Finally, many numerical simulations have been carried out to verify the validation and efficiency of the proposed schemes.
