Control of Chaos Using Sampled-data Feedback Control

In this paper we present a theory for control of chaotic systems using sampled data. The output of the chaotic system is sampled at a given sampling rate and the sampled output is used by a feedback subsystem to construct a control signal, which is held constant by a holding subsystem. Hence, during each control iteration, the control input remains unchanged. Theoretical results on the asymptotic stability of the resulting controlled chaotic systems are presented. Numerical experimental results via Chua’s circuit are used to verify the theoretical results.
