Proposal for the development of techniques for the implementation of control toexperimental chaotic systems. Final technical report

摘要

This is the final report on a research project that explored (a) controllingcomplex dynamical systems; (b) using controlled chaotic signals for communication (c) methods of controlling chaos via targeting; (d) deterministic modeling; and miscellaneous work on the interface between chaotic and stable periodic behavior as system parameters vary, bifurcations of non-smooth systems that describe impact oscillators; phenomena that occur in quasiperiodically forced systems, and the fractal and topological properties of chaotic inveriant sets, in particular those arising in fluid flow.
