Title: Controlling chaos in low and high dimensional systems with periodic parametric perturbations

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/663249· OSTI ID:663249

The effect of applying a periodic perturbation to an accessible parameter of various chaotic systems is examined. Numerical results indicate that perturbation frequencies near the natural frequencies of the unstable periodic orbits of the chaotic systems can result in limit cycles for relatively small perturbations. Such perturbations can also control or significantly reduce the dimension of high-dimensional systems. Initial application to the control of fluctuations in a prototypical magnetic fusion plasma device will be reviewed.
