<<< Chaos Comes of Age >>>
Over the last two decades, chaos in engineering systems has moved from
being simply a curious phenomenon to one with real, practical significance
and utility. Engineers, scientists, and mathematicians have similarly
advanced from the passive role of analyzing chaos to their present,
active
role of controlling chaos - control directed not only at suppression,
but
also at exploiting its enormous potential. We now stand at the threshold
of major advances in the control and synchronization of chaos for new
applications across the range of engineering disciplines.
Controlling Chaos and Bifurcations in Engineering Systems provides a
state-of-the-art survey of the control and anti-control of chaos in
dynamical systems. Internationally known experts in the field join
forces
in this volume to form this tutorial-style combination of overview
and
technical report on the latest advances in the theory and applications
of chaos control. They detail various approaches to control and show
how
designers can use chaos to create a wider variety of properties and
greater flexibility in the design process.
Chaos control promises to have a major impact on novel time- and
energy-critical engineering applications. Within this volume, readers
will find many challenging problems - yet unsolved - regarding both
the
fundamental theory and potential applications of chaos control and
anti-control. Controlling Chaos and Bifurcations in Engineering Systems
will bring readers up-to-date on recent development in the field and
help open the door to new advances.
