Controlling chaos in higher dimensional maps with constant feedback: An analytical approach

Abstract

We introduce two methods to control chaos in higher-dimensional discrete maps with constant feedback. It is analytically shown for a general class of function vectors that chaotic attractors can be converted into fixed point attractors. Additionally, a method to choose an appropriate constant feedback is presented. The application of these methods does not require a priori knowledge of system equations, since time series information can be used. Desired periodic orbits can be accessed by varying the constant feedback. As an example, the methods are applied to the Henon map.
