Viewing the efficiency of chaos control

Abstract: This paper aims to cast some new light on controlling chaos using the OGY- and the Zero-Spectral-Radius methods. In deriving those methods we use a generalized procedure differing from the usual ones. This procedure allows us to conveniently treat maps to be controlled bringing the orbit to both various saddles and to sources with both real and complex eigenvalues. We demonstrate the procedure and the subsequent control on a variety of maps. We evaluate the control by examining the basins of attraction of the relevant controlled systems graphically and in some cases analytically.


This paper compares two methods from Chaos Control, namely the OGY [\textit{E. Ott, C. Grebogi} and \textit{J. A. Yorke}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 64, No. 11, 1196--1199 (1990; Zbl 0964.37501)] and the Zero-spectral-radius method. Both methods take advantage of the topological transitivity of chaotic dynamical systems. Roughly speaking, one waits until the system trajectory reaches a neighborhood of the unstable equilibrium or periodic orbit to be stabilized and then uses linear control techniques. While in the OGY-method only the unstable eigenvalues of the Jacobian are required to be zero, in the Zero-spectral-radius method this is required for all eigenvalues. In this paper these methods are first described and then compared for several examples, including the 2d Hénon map, a 3d Hénon-like map and the logistic map. In particular, the domains of attraction are investigated and a new procedure for deriving the necessary control formulas is discussed.
