Chaos is a special feature of complex parametric nonlinear dynamical systems. It has the random-like behavior usually seen in stochastic systems although it is associated with deterministic dynamics. Chaos is at the edge of stability and therefore could easily lead systems to an unstable, performance-degraded, or even catastrophic situation. In such cases, chaos is considered as undesired and s...

We report on an experimental observation of optical wave chaos in a resonator consisting of three standard, high-reflectivity mirrors. The nonseparability of the wave equation necessary for chaos is introduced by violating the paraxial approximation. Until recently progress in optical wave chaos was hampered by the inherent difficulty in realizing suitable microscopic systems; now this novel, m...

This paper surveys frequency-domain and time-domain methods for feedback nonlinear systems and their possible applications to chaos control, coupled systems and complex dynamical networks. The absolute stability of Lur’e systems with single equilibrium and global properties of a class of pendulum-like systems with multi-equilibria are discussed. Time-domain and frequency-domain criteria for the...

We carried out a fluid dynamical simulation for a forced dripping faucet system using a new algorithm that was recently developed. The simulation shows that periodic external forcing induces transitions from chaotic to periodic motion and vice versa. We further constructed an improved mass-sprig model for the same system on the basis of data obtained from the fluid dynamical computations. A det...

This paper surveys some recent results about chaos induced by snap-back repellers and its applications to anti-control of chaos (or, chaotification). Several criteria of chaos induced by snap-back repellers in finite and infinite dimensional dynamical systems are introduced. Some successful applications are given to chaotification problems for finite and infinitedimensional discrete dynamical s...

This paper presents anti-synchronization of two different chaotic systems using optimal control method. The proposed technique is applied to achieve chaos anti-synchronization for the new fourdimensional and hyperchaotic Lü systems with fully unknown parameters. Numerical simulations results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Case-chaos methodology is a proposed alternative to case-control studies that simulates controls by randomly reshuffling the exposures of cases. We evaluated the method using data on outbreaks in Sweden. We identified 5 case-control studies from foodborne illness outbreaks that occurred between 2005 and 2012. Using case-chaos methodology, we calculated odds ratios 1,000 times for each exposure....

In this paper, the problem of error control of stepwise multiple testing procedures is considered. For two-sided hypotheses, control of both type 1 and type 3 (or directional) errors is required, and thus mixed directional familywise error rate control and mixed directional false discovery rate control are each considered by incorporating both types of errors in the error rate. Mixed directiona...

This paper deals with a feedback control strategy for chaos suppression. The proposed strategy is an input–output control scheme which comprises an uncertainty estimator and an asymptotic linearizing feedback. The developed control scheme allows chaos suppression in spite of modeling errors and parametric variations.

This paper proposes an energy efficient control strategy for an induction machine (IM) based on two advanced particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithms. Two advanced PSO algorithms, known as the dynamic particle swarm optimisation (Dynamic PSO) and the chaos particle swarm optimisation (Chaos PSO) algorithms modify the algorithm parameters to improve the performance of the standard PSO algori...
