We consider optimization of the linear stability of synchronized states between a pair of weakly coupled limit-cycle oscillators with cross coupling, where different components of state variables of the oscillators are allowed to interact. On the basis of the phase reduction theory, we derive the coupling matrix between different components of the oscillator states that maximizes the linear stability of the synchronized state under given constraints on the overall coupling intensity and the stationary phase difference. The improvement in the linear stability is illustrated by using several types of limit-cycle oscillators as examples.
