Voting, or more generally, aggregating preferences, makes systems complex. Consequently, their dynamics can be chaotic and hence difficult to predict or control. These statements are equally true for artificial multi-agent systems as for real political systems, counterindicating unreflexive use of such tools by policy makers. Similar analysis applies to systems with a continuum of alternatives,...

in this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (hoamsc). it is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...

Chaos based communications have drawn increasing attention over the past years. Chaotic signals are derived from non-linear dynamic systems. They are aperiodic, broadband and deterministic signals that appear random in the time domain. Because of these properties, chaotic signals have been proposed to generate spreading sequences for wide-band secure communication recently. Like conventional DS...
