In the past decade, there have been some studies about control methods with the purpose of either reducing “bad” chaos or introducing “good” chaos [Chen & Dong, 1998]. Due to its great potential in nontraditional applications such as those found within the context of physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, optical, and particularly, biological and medical systems [Chen et al., 2001; Schiff ...

Chaos control is a concept that recently acquiring more attention among the research community, concerning the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and mathematic. This paper presents a method to simultaneous control of deterministic chaos in several nonlinear dynamical systems. A radial basis function networks (RBFNs) has been used to control chaotic trajectories in the equilibri...

We present a technique to control chaos in Hamiltonian systems which are close to integrable. By adding a small and simple control term to the perturbation, the system becomes more regular than the original one. We apply this technique to a model that reproduces turbulent E×B drift and show numerically that the control is able to drastically reduce chaotic transport. Submitted to: J. Phys. A: M...
