Controlling chaos: Stabilization of unstable orbits using exponential control for maps and flows

We demonstrate that chaos can be controlled using multiplicative exponential feedback control. Unstable fixed points, unstable limit cycles and unstable chaotic trajectories can all be stabilized using such control which is effective both for maps and flows. The control is of particular significance for systems with several degrees of freedom, as knowledge of only one variable on the desired unstable orbit is sufficient to settle the system onto that orbit. We find in all cases that the transient time is a decreasing function of the stiffness of control. But increasing the stiffness beyond an optimum value can increase the transient time. We have also used such a mechanism to control spatiotemporal chaos is a well-known coupled map lattice model.     

Robust pre-specified time synchronization of chaotic systems by employing time-varying switching surfaces in the sliding mode control scheme

In the conventional chaos synchronization methods, the time at which two chaotic systems are synchronized, is usually unknown and depends on initial conditions. In this work based on Lyapunov stability theory a sliding mode controller with time-varying switching surfaces is proposed to achieve chaos synchronization at a pre-specified time for the first time. The proposed controller is able to synchronize chaotic systems precisely at any time when we want. Moreover, by choosing the time-varying switching surfaces in a way that the reaching phase is eliminated, the synchronization becomes robust to uncertainties and exogenous disturbances. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method of stabilizing and synchronizing chaotic systems with complete robustness to uncertainty and disturbances exactly at a pre-specified time.

Chaos synchronization of a chain network based on a sliding mode control

A sliding mode control approach is proposed to implement the synchronization of the chain tree network. The doublescroll circuit chaos systems are treated as nodes and the network is constructed with the state variable coupling. By selecting a switching sliding surface, the chaos synchronization of the network is achieved with one control input only. The stability analysis and the numerical simulations demonstrate that the complete synchronization in a chain network can be realized for all nodes.

Transient Chaos and Critical States in Generalized Baker Maps

Generalized multibaker maps are introduced to model dissipative systems which are spatially extended only in certain directions and escape of particles is allowed in other ones. Effects of nonlinearity are investigated by varying a control parameter. Emphasis is put on the appearance of the critical state representing the borderline of transient chaos, where anomalous behavior sets in. The investigations extend to the conditionally invariant and the related natural measures and to transient diffusion in normal and critical states as well. Permanent chaos is also considered as a special case.

Bubbling transition to spatial mode excitation in an extended dynamical system

We investigated the transition to spatio-temporal chaos in spatially extended nonlinear dynamical systems possessing an invariant subspace with a low-dimensional attractor. When the latter is chaotic and the subspace is transversely stable we have a spatially homogeneous state only. The onset of spatio-temporal chaos, i.e. the excitation of spatially inhomogeneous modes, occur through the loss of transversal stability of some unstable periodic orbit embedded in the chaotic attractor lying in the invariant subspace. This is a bubbling transition, since there is a switching between spatially homogeneous and nonhomogeneous states with statistical properties of on-off intermittency. Hence the onset of spatio-temporal chaos depends critically both on the existence of a chaotic attractor in the invariant subspace and its being transversely stable or unstable.     

One to four-wing chaotic attractors coined from a novel 3D fractional-order chaotic system with complex dynamics

A novel 3D fractional-order chaotic system is proposed in this paper. And the system equations consist of nine terms including four nonlinearities. It's interesting to see that this new fractional-order chaotic system can generate one-wing, two-wing, three-wing and four-wing attractors by merely varying a single parameter. Moreover, various coexisting attractors with respect to same system parameters and different initial values and the phenomenon of transient chaos are observed in this new system. The complex dynamical properties of the presented fractional-order systems are investigated by means of theoretical analysis and numerical simulations including phase portraits, equilibrium stability, bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponents, chaos diagram, and so on. Furthermore, the corresponding implementation circuit is designed. The Multisim simulations and the hardware experimental results are well in accordance with numerical simulations of the same system on the Matlab platform, which verifies the correctness and feasibility of this new fractional-order chaotic system.     

Feedback Induced Instability and Chaos in Semiconductor Lasers and Their Applications

Semiconductor laser with feedback is an excellent model for nonlinear optical system which shows chaotic dynamics. It is interesting not only from the fundamental physical study but also application standpoints of view. The dynamics of feedback induced instability and chaos, especially for optical feedback, and their applications are reviewed in this paper. The model of such a system is described by the laser rate equations. At first the dynamic behaviors of feedback induced instability and chaos in semiconductor lasers are discussed on the basis of the theory and experiments. Instability and chaos may be stabilized by the method of chaos control. Then we apply the method to suppress the noise induced by the feedback in a semiconductor laser. The synchronization of chaos between two similar systems is also an important issue in chaos applications and we discuss secure communications based on chaos synchronization. Some other examples of applications of feedback induced chaos are also described.     

An Improved Calculation Formula of the Extended Entropic Chaos Degree and Its Application to Two-Dimensional Chaotic Maps

The Lyapunov exponent is primarily used to quantify the chaos of a dynamical system. However, it is difficult to compute the Lyapunov exponent of dynamical systems from a time series. The entropic chaos degree is a criterion for quantifying chaos in dynamical systems through information dynamics, which is directly computable for any time series. However, it requires higher values than the Lyapunov exponent for any chaotic map. Therefore, the improved entropic chaos degree for a one-dimensional chaotic map under typical chaotic conditions was introduced to reduce the difference between the Lyapunov exponent and the entropic chaos degree. Moreover, the improved entropic chaos degree was extended for a multidimensional chaotic map. Recently, the author has shown that the extended entropic chaos degree takes the same value as the total sum of the Lyapunov exponents under typical chaotic conditions. However, the author has assumed a value of infinity for some numbers, especially the number of mapping points. Nevertheless, in actual numerical computations, these numbers are treated as finite. This study proposes an improved calculation formula of the extended entropic chaos degree to obtain appropriate numerical computation results for two-dimensional chaotic maps.

Chaotic transients in spatially extended systems

Different transient-chaos related phenomena of spatiotemporal systems are reviewed. Special attention is paid to cases where spatiotemporal chaos appears in the form of chaotic transients only. The asymptotic state is then spatially regular. In systems of completely different origins, ranging from fluid dynamics to chemistry and biology, the average lifetimes of these spatiotemporal transients are found, however, to grow rapidly with the system size, often in an exponential fashion. For sufficiently large spatial extension, the lifetime might turn out to be larger than any physically realizable time. There is increasing numerical and experimental evidence that in many systems such transients mask the real attractors. Attractors may then not be relevant to certain types of spatiotemporal chaos, or turbulence. The observable dynamics is governed typically by a high-dimensional chaotic saddle. We review the origin of exponential scaling of the transient lifetime with the system size, and compare this with a similar scaling with system parameters known in low-dimensional problems. The effect of weak noise on such supertransients is discussed. Different crisis phenomena of spatiotemporal systems are presented and fractal properties of the chaotic saddles underlying high-dimensional supertransients are discussed. The recent discovery according to which turbulence in pipe flows is a very long lasting transient sheds new light on chaotic transients in other spatially extended systems.

Metastable chaos: The transition to sustained chaotic behavior in the Lorenz model

The system of equations introduced by Lorenz to model turbulent convective flow is studied here for Rayleigh numbersr somewhat smaller than the critical value required for sustained chaotic behavior. In this regime the system is found to exhibit transient chaotic behavior. Some statistical properties of this transient chaos are examined numerically. A mean decay time from chaos to steady flow is found and its dependence uponr is studied both numerically and (very close to the criticalr) analytically.This work was supported in part by NASA grant NSG 5209; partial support of computer costs was provided by the University of Maryland-Baltimore County Computer Center.     

Parrondo's paradox for chaos control and anticontrol of fractional-order systems

We present the generalized forms of Parrondo's paradox existing in fractional-order nonlinear systems. The generalization is implemented by applying a parameter switching(PS) algorithm to the corresponding initial value problems associated with the fractional-order nonlinear systems. The PS algorithm switches a system parameter within a specific set of N ≥ 2 values when solving the system with some numerical integration method. It is proven that any attractor of the concerned system can be approximated numerically. By replacing the words "winning" and "loosing" in the classical Parrondo's paradox with "order" and "chaos", respectively, the PS algorithm leads to the generalized Parrondo's paradox:chaos_1+ chaos_2+ ··· + chaosN= order and order_1+ order_2+ ··· + orderN= chaos. Finally, the concept is well demonstrated with the results based on the fractional-order Chen system.

Shilnikov sense chaos in a simple three-dimensional system

The Shilnikov sense Smale horseshoe chaos in a simple 3D nonlinear system is studied. The proportional integral derivative (PID) controller is improved by introducing the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities into the governing equations. For the discussion of chaos, the bifurcate parameter value is selected in a reasonable regime at the requirement of the Shilnikov theorem. The analytic expression of the Shilnikov type homoclinic orbit is accomplished. It depends on the series form of the manifolds surrounding the saddle-focus equilibrium. Then the methodology is extended to research the dynamical behaviours of the simplified solar-wind-driven-magnetosphere-ionosphere system. As is illustrated, the Lyapunov characteristic exponent spectra of the two systems indicate the existence of chaotic attractor under some specific parameter conditions.
