CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK APPROACH FOR CONTROLLING CHAOS

We show that the continuous feedback approach is highly effective for controlling chaotic systems. The control design for the Lorenz system is presented as an example to demonstrate the strength of this approach. The proposed control is able to eliminate chaos and bring the system toward any of the three steady states. Two different control input locations are considered. Only one system variable is used in the feedback. The control scheme can tolerate both measurement noise and modeling uncertainty as long as they are bounded.
