Abstract

Recently, the control of chaos has generated extensive interest and great progress has been made. In general, there are two methods of control, with and without feedback. Ott et al [1] demonstrated that a chaotic attractor typically has embedded with it an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits. By making small time-dependent perturbations of a system parameter, one can convert a chaotic attractor to periodic motion. The nonfeedback control method proposed by Hubler and Luscher [2]. In this report, we present a model of a piecewise function map for controlling chaos in a nonlinear hybrid optical bistable system.
