The phenomenon of on-off intermittency is studied in two coupled double-well Duffing oscillators with stochastic driving. We demonstrate that by using slow harmonic modulation applied to an accessible system parameter, the intermittent chaotic attractors can be completely eliminated. The influence of noise is also investigated. Power-law scaling of the average laminar time with a critical expon...

equation is organized to describe the dynamical system. Control system performance is proved robust against parametric uncertainties and external disturbances. The control input involves a discontinuous switching control input which is used to deal with the uncertainties and disturbances. Illustrative example is given. Input chattering is remarkably eliminated and trajectory tracking is effecti...

Rényi entropy and generalized complexity measures are used to describe the chaotic behaviour of dynamical systems. These measures are found to be sensitive to the fine details of the Rössler and the Duffing maps. They are good descriptors of chaotic behaviour. Periodic windows and the fractal character of the chaotic dynamics are nicely detected.

Some recent developments for the validation of nonlinear models built from data are reviewed. Besides giving an overall view of the field, a procedure is proposed and investigated based on the concept of dissipative synchronization between the data and the model, which is very useful in validating models that should reproduce dominant dynamical features, like bifurcations, of the original syste...

We examine the collective behaviour of coupled Duffing Hamiltonian systems (HS) and show the existence of measure synchronization (MS) in the quasi-periodic (QP) and -chaotic states. We show that the dynamics of coupled Duffing Hamiltonians exhibit a transition to coherent invariant measure, their orbits sharing the same phase space as the coupling strength is increased. Transitions from QP mea...

We study the dynamics of a ring of unidirectionally coupled autonomous Duffing oscillators. Starting from a situation where the individual oscillator without coupling has only trivial equilibrium dynamics, the coupling induces complicated transitions to periodic, quasiperiodic, chaotic, and hyperchaotic behavior. We study these transitions in detail for small and large numbers of oscillators. P...

This paper deals with the design of feedback controllers for a chaotic dynamical system l i e the Duffing equation. Lyapunov theory is used to show that the proposed bounded controllers achieve global convergence for any desired trajectory. Some simulation examples illustrate the presented ideas.

Phase-control techniques of chaos aim to extract periodic behaviors from chaotic systems by applying weak harmonic perturbations with a suitably chosen phase. However, little is known about the best strategy for selecting adequate perturbations to reach desired states. Here we use experimental measures and numerical simulations to assess the benefits of controlling individually the three terms ...
