This book is a collection of papers contributed by some of the greatest names in the areas of
chaos and nonlinear dynamics. Each paper examines a research topic at the frontier of the …

The possibility of unidirectional motion of a kink (topological soliton) of a dissipative sine-
Gordon equation in the presence of ac forces with harmonic mixing (at least biharmonic) and …

We present a numerical study of control of chaos in a model of a multimode neodymium-
doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser using periodic perturbations of accessible control …

First, the neural synergetics are discussed. Then based on the basic equations of
synergetics, we derive quantitatively the Lorenz equations and Lorenz mode of brain, whose …

In this chapter we review the development of the control of chaos theory subsequent to the
seminal paper by Ott, Grebogi and Yorke in 1990. After summarizing the main characteristics …

Electrochemical etching of semiconductors, apart from many technical applications, provides
an interesting experimental setup for self-organized structure formation capable, eg, of …

We study the dynamics of an array of single mode laser diodes subject to filtered feedback
provided by an external reflection grating. Our numerical simulations show that by …

We numerically demonstrate the generation of chaos in a four-terminal superconductive
device made of five Josephson weak-link junctions, which is referred to as" Josephson …

The onset of spatiotemporal chaos in a damped sine-Gordon system subjected to a plane
wave field as well as its suppression by an additional small-amplitude plane wave field are …

Taming chaos by weak harmonic perturbations has been a hot topic in recent years. This
paper clarifies the mechanism for taming chaos theoretically. The model we consider in this …
