From Chaos To Order: Methodologies, Perspectives And Applications: 24 (World Scientific Series on Nonlinear Science Series A) - Tapa dura

Chaos control has become a fast-developing interdisciplinary research field in recent years. This book is for engineers and applied scientists who want to have a broad understanding of the emerging field of chaos control. It describes fundamental concepts, outlines representative techniques, provides case studies, and highlights recent developments, putting the reader at the forefront of current research.Important topics presented in the book include:

Ordering (or controlling) chaos is a new concept, which has recently attracted much attention from the communities of mathematics, physics, engineering and biomedical and computer sciences. This publication offers an introduction to various successful methods for the control of chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems. The authors intend to present a self-contained, elementary and rigorous treatment of the subject, and to provide a firm basis for the further study and research in this rapidly developing direction, in the important field of nonlinear systems dynamics and control.
