In this paper, controlling of chaotic dynamics by stabilizing desired
unstable periodic orbits embedded in a chaotic attractor of a Bonhoeff
er-van der Pol (BVP) equation is studied using recently proposed three
control algorithms [1-4]. A comparative study of these methods is mad
e. Variation of correction signal with time, dependence of recovery ti
me on the stiffness epsilon of the control signal and stability region
show different characteristic features in the three control schemes.
