Abstract
A control scheme is devised for taming the dynamics of convectively un stable extended systems exhibiting chaotic behavior. We show how compl ex spatiotemporal phenomena can be eliminated in arrays of coupled cha otic elements, in favor of a coherent state in which all elements are synchronized to a prescribed periodic orbit of the uncoupled system. T he propagation of the synchronizing front and the resulting steady sta te properties of the array are analyzed in the presence of noise.
