Control of chaos refers to a process wherein a tiny perturbation is applied to a chaotic
system, in order to realize a desirable (chaotic, periodic, or stationary) behavior. We review …

Pattern formation and competition occur in a nonlinear extended medium if dissipation
allows for attracting sets, independently of initial and boundary conditions. This intrinsic …

Just a few decades ago, chemical oscillations were thought to be exotic reactions of only
theoretical interest. Now known to govern an array of physical and biological processes …

This book differs from others on Chaos Theory in that it focuses on its applications for
understanding complex phenomena. The emphasis is on the interpretation of the equations …

Chemical reactions with nonlinear kinetic behavior can give rise to a remarkable set of
spatiotemporal phenomena. These include periodic and chaotic changes in concentration …

DETERMINISTIC chaos is characterized by long-term unpredictability arising from an
extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. Such behaviour may be undesirable, particularly for …

We present a linear analysis for a recently proposed modification of the delay feedback
control technique that allows one to stabilize unstable periodic orbits of a strange attractor …

We describe a method that converts the motion on a chaotic attractor to a desired attracting
time periodic motion by making only small time dependent perturbations of a control …

A multimode, autonomously chaotic solid-state laser system has been controlled by the
technique of occassional proportional feedback, related to the control scheme of Ott …

The chaotic dynamics found in the diode resonator has been converted into stable orbits
with periods up to 23 drive cycles long. The method used is a modification of that of Ott …
