Ordering Chaos in Chua's Circuit: a sampled-Data Feedback and Digital Redesign Approach

In this paper, we develop and apply some digital design and redesign techniques for ordering the chaotic Chua’s circuit. The idea of using sampled-data feedback for controlling the circuit was previously suggested [Yang & Chua, 1998], which relies on small sampling periods. We show how this sampled-data feedback control method can be significantly improved, so that large sampling times are allowed, for the same purpose of ordering the nonlinear circuit, from anywhere within the chaotic attractor towards a predesired periodic cycle of the circuit.
