Taming chaos. II. Control

For pt. I see ibid., vol. 40, no. 10, p. 693-9 (Oct. 1993). Various control concepts developed for chaotic systems are described in this paper. By control, we mean influencing the system operating in a chaotic regime in such a way as to achieve a desired type of dynamic behavior ("goal") that typically could be a fixed point or periodic orbit. The control concepts described here include system parameter variation, chaotic oscillation absorber, entrainment, linear feedback control, and methods for stabilizing unstable periodic orbits. Advantages and drawbacks of these methods are described.<
