Refuting the odd-number limitation of time-delayed feedback control

We refute an often invoked theorem which claims that a periodic orbit with an odd number of real Floquet multipliers greater than unity can never be stabilized by time-delayed feedback control in the form proposed by Pyragas. Using a generic normal form, we demonstrate that the unstable periodic orbit generated by a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, which has a single real unstable Floquet multiplier, can in fact be stabilized. We derive explicit analytical conditions for the control matrix in terms of the amplitude and the phase of the feedback control gain, and present a numerical example. Our results are of relevance for a wide range of systems in physics, chemistry, technology, and life sciences, where subcritical Hopf bifurcations occur.

Adaptive modification of the delayed feedback control algorithm with a continuously varying time delay

We propose a simple adaptive delayed feedback control algorithm for stabilization of unstable periodic orbits with unknown periods. The state dependent time delay is varied continuously towards the period of controlled orbit according to a gradient-descent method realized through three simple ordinary differential equations. We demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm with the Rössler and Mackey-Glass chaotic systems. The stability of the controlled orbits is proven by computation of the Lyapunov exponents of linearized equations.     

Control of chaos via an unstable delayed feedback controller

Delayed feedback control of chaos is well known as an effective method for stabilizing unstable periodic orbits embedded in chaotic attractors. However, it had been shown that the method works only for a certain class of periodic orbits characterized by a finite torsion. Modification based on an unstable delayed feedback controller is proposed in order to overcome this topological limitation. An efficiency of the modified scheme is demonstrated for an unstable fixed point of a simple dynamic model as well as for an unstable periodic orbit of the Lorenz system.     

On a simple recursive control algorithm automated and applied to an electrochemical experiment

We review a simple recursive proportional feedback (RPF) control strategy for stabilizing unstable periodic orbits found in chaotic attractors. The method is generally applicable to high-dimensional systems and stabilizes periodic orbits even if they are completely unstable, i.e., have no stable manifolds. The goal of the control scheme is the fixed point itself rather than a stable manifold and the controlled system reaches the fixed point in d+1 steps, where d is the dimension of the state space of the Poincare map. We provide a geometrical interpretation of the control method based on an extended phase space. Controllability conditions or special symmetries that limit the possibility of using a single control parameter to control multiply unstable periodic orbits are discussed. An automated adaptive learning algorithm is described for the application of the control method to an experimental system with no previous knowledge about its dynamics. The automated control system is used to stabilize a period-one orbit in an experimental system involving electrodissolution of copper. (c) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

Spatial and temporal feedback control of traveling wave solutions of the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

Previous work has shown that Benjamin-Feir unstable traveling waves of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) in two spatial dimensions cannot be stabilized using a particular time-delayed feedback control mechanism known as ‘time-delay autosynchronization’. In this paper, we show that the addition of similar spatial feedback terms can be used to stabilize such waves. This type of feedback is a generalization of the time-delay method of Pyragas [K. Pyragas, Continuous control of chaos by self-controlling feedback, Phys. Lett. A 170 (1992) 421-428] and has been previously used to stabilize waves in the one-dimensional CGLE by Montgomery and Silber [K. Montgomery, M. Silber, Feedback control of traveling wave solutions of the complex Ginzburg Landau equation, Nonlinearity 17 (6) (2004) 2225-2248]. We consider two cases in which the feedback contains either one or two spatial terms. We focus on how the spatial terms may be chosen to select the direction of travel of the plane waves. Numerical linear stability calculations demonstrate the results of our analysis.     

Global view on a nonlinear oscillator subject to time-delayed feedback control

We apply time-delayed feedback control to stabilise unstable periodic orbits of an amplitude-phase oscillator. The control acts on both, the amplitude and the frequency of the oscillator, and we show how the phase of the control signal influences the dynamics of the oscillator. A comprehensive bifurcation analysis in terms of the control phase and the control strength reveals large stability regions of the target periodic orbit, as well as an increasing number of unstable periodic orbits caused by the time delay of the feedback loop. Our results provide insight into the global features of time-delayed control schemes.     

The design and artificial realization of a controller of pulse coupling feedback

In this paper a controller of pulse coupling feedback (PCF) is designed to control chaotic systems. Control principles and the technique to select the feedback coefficients are introduced. This controller is theoretically studied with a three dimensional (3D) chaotic system. The artificial simulation results show that the chaotic system can be stabilized to different periodic orbits by using the PCF method, and the number of the periodic orbits are 2ⁿ× 3^mp (n and m are integers). Therefore, this control method is effective and practical.     

Topological degree in analysis of chaotic behavior in singularly perturbed systems

A scheme of applying topological degree theory to the analysis of chaotic behavior in singularly perturbed systems is suggested. The scheme combines one introduced by Zgliczynski [Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 8, 169 (1996)] with the method of topological shadowing, but does not rely on computer based proofs. It is illustrated by a three-dimensional system with piecewise linear slow surface. This approach, when applicable, guarantees abundance of periodic orbits with arbitrarily large periods, each of which is a canard-type trajectory: at first it passes along, and close to, an attractive part of the slow surface of the singularly perturbed system and then continues for a while along the repulsive part of the slow surface. These periodic trajectories are robust in a topological sense with respect to small disturbances in the right-hand sides of the system under consideration, but typically not stable in the Lyapunov sense. Methods of localization of such periodic trajectories are briefly discussed, and numerical examples of localizations are given. The periodic trajectories that are useful from the applications point of view can be stabilized via an appropriate feedback control, for instance, the Pyragas control.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its linear feedback control

This paper reports a new hyperchaotic system by adding an additional state variable into a three-dimensional chaotic dynamical system, studies some of its basic dynamical properties, such as the hyperchaotic attractor, Lyapunov exponents, bifurcation diagram and the hyperchaotic attractor evolving into periodic, quasi-periodic dynamical behaviours by varying parameter k. Furthermore, effective linear feedback control method is used to suppress hyperchaos to unstable equilibrium, periodic orbits and quasi-periodic orbits. Numerical simulations are presented to show these results.

Some sufficient conditions for stabilizing periodic orbits without the odd-number property by delayed feedback control in continuous-time systems

One of the important topics in the study of delayed feedback control (DFC) for chaotic systems is stability analysis. In the present Letter, we give some sufficient conditions for stabilizing periodic orbits by the DFC without the odd-number property in continuous-time systems. Our results naturally connect the stability condition for inversely unstable orbits and the odd-number limitation.     

Controlling chaos to unstable periodic orbits and equilibrium state solutions for the coupled dynamos system

In the case where the knowledge of goal states is not known, the controllers are constructed to stabilize unstable steady states for a coupled dynamos system. A delayed feedback control technique is used to suppress chaos to unstable focuses and unstable periodic orbits. To overcome the topological limitation that the saddle-type steady state cannot be stabilized, an adaptive control based on LaSalle's invariance principle is used to control chaos to unstable equilibrium (i.e. saddle point, focus, node, etc.). The control technique does not require any computer analysis of the system dynamics, and it operates without needing to know any explicit knowledge of the desired steady-state position.     

On the stability of the three classes of Newtonian three-body planar periodic orbits

Currently,the fifteen new periodic orbits of Newtonian three-body problem with equal mass were found by Suvakov and Dmitra sinovi[Phys Rev Lett,2013,110:114301]using the gradient descent method with double precision.In this paper,these reported orbits are checked stringently by means of a reliable numerical approach(namely the"Clean Numerical Simulation",CNS),which is based on the arbitrary-order Taylor series method and data in arbitrary-digit precision with a procedure of solution verification.It is found that seven among these fifteen orbits greatly depart from the periodic ones within a long enough interval of time,and are thus most possibly unstable at least.It is suggested to carefully check whether or not these seven unstable orbits are the so-called"computational periodicity"mentioned by Lorenz in 2006.This work also illustrates the validity and great potential of the CNS for chaotic dynamic systems.     

Delayed feedback control of time-delayed chaotic systems: Analytical approach at Hopf bifurcation

This Letter is concerned with bifurcation and chaos control in scalar delayed differential equations with delay parameter τ. By linear stability analysis, the conditions under which a sequence of Hopf bifurcation occurs at the equilibrium points are obtained. The delayed feedback controller is used to stabilize unstable periodic orbits. To find the controller delay, it is chosen such that the Hopf bifurcation remains unchanged. Also, the controller feedback gain is determined such that the corresponding unstable periodic orbit becomes stable. Numerical simulations are used to verify the analytical results.

One family of 13315 stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical unequal-mass triple systems

The three-body problem can be traced back to Newton in 1687,but it is still an open question today.Note that only a few periodic orbits of three-body systems were found in 300 years after Newton mentioned this famous problem.Although triple systems are common in astronomy,practically all observed periodic triple systems are hierarchical(similar to the Sun,Earth and Moon).It has traditionally been believed that non-hierarchical triple systems would be unstable and thus should disintegrate into a stable binary system and a single star,and consequently stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems have been expected to be rather scarce.However,we report here one family of 135445 periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with unequal masses;13315 among them are stable.Compared with the narrow mass range(only 10-5)in which stable"Figure-eight"periodic orbits of three-body systems exist,our newly found stable periodic orbits have fairly large mass region.We find that many of these numerically found stable non-hierarchical periodic orbits have mass ratios close to those of hierarchical triple systems that have been measured with astronomical observations.This implies that these stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with distinctly unequal masses quite possibly can be observed in practice.Our investigation also suggests that there should exist an infinite number of stable periodic orbits of non-hierarchical triple systems with distinctly unequal masses.Note that our approach has general meaning:in a similar way,every known family of periodic orbits of three-body systems with two or three equal masses can be used as a starting point to generate thousands of new periodic orbits of triple systems with distinctly unequal masses.
