USING CHAOS TO CONTROL CHAOTIC SYSTEMS

This paper proposes a new method of controlling chaos, from which we f ind that the condition of negative Lyapunov exponent in a controlled c haotic system is not necessary. By using a piecewise linear controller , we successfully design a chaotic attractor to keep the output of the controlled chaotic system in a small neighborhood of the target. The analyses and experiments show that it is a practicable method. (C) 199 7 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
