• In this paper, we focus on a linear cooperative system with periodic coefficients proposed by Mierczyński [SIAM Review 59(2017), 649-670]. By introducing a switching strategy parameter $\lambda$ in the periodic coefficients, the bifurcation of instability and the optimization of the switching strategy are investigated. The critical value of unstable branches is determined by appealing to the theory of monotone dynamical system. A bifurcation diagram is presented and numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical result.
