We establish two theorems for two time-delayed (chaotic) differential equation systems to achieve time-delayed generalized synchronization (TDGS). The theorems uncover general forms of two TDGS systems via a prescribed differentiable transformation. Based on the theorems, we use two-coupled Ikeda equations as the driving system to construct TDGS driven systems via two prescribed transformations. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theorems. It may be expected that our theorems provide new tools for understanding and studying TDGS phenomena.
