Controlling Chaos

We have proposed a stabilization method of unstable periodic orbits embedded within a chaos attractor[1].

Example of Duffing's equation

Before the controlling: A chatic attractor (Red line) with its Poincare mapping (Blue points) After the controlling: Stabilized a 3-periodic orbit (Blue line) embedded within the chaotic attractor.
Now, we are developping practical engineering applications; chaotic circuits, stepping motors, the pendulum driven by an external periodic force, etc., and also investigate to apply this method for higer-order or autonomous chaotic systems. As a second project, we try to stabilize a chaos by continuous state feedback. (from Oct. 1998)
