Controlling Chaos: Theoretical and Practical Methods in Non-linear Dynamics

By (author) Tomasz Kapitaniak






| book description |

More than two decades of intensive studies on non-linear dynamics have raised questions on the practical applications of chaos. One possible answer is to control chaotic behaviour in a predictable way. This book explores the ideas behind controlling chaos.;The text explains, using simple examples, both the mathematical theory and experimental results used to apply chaotic dynamics to real engineering systems. Chua's circuit is used as an example throughout the book as it can be easily constructed in the laboratory and numerically modelled. The use of this example allows readers to test the theories presented. The text is balanced between theory and applications to provide an in-depth examination of the concepts behind the complex ideas presented.
