Abstract:
By adjusting external control signal, rather than some available parameters of the system, we modify the straight-line stabilization method for stabilizing an unstable periodic orbit in a neighborhood of an unstable fixed point formulated by Ling Yang et al., and derive a more simple analytical expression of the external control signal adjustment. Our technique solves the problem that the unstable fixed point is independent of the system parameters, for which the original straight-line stabilization method is not suitable. The method is valid for controlling dissipative chaos, Hamiltonian chaos and hyperchaos, and may be most useful for the systems in which it may be difficult to find an accessible system parameter in some cases. The method is robust under the presence of weak external noise.
