Controlling Chaos! Dylan Thomas and Alex Yang
Why control chaos? • One may want a system to be used for different purposes at different times • Chaos offers flexibility (ability to switch between behaviors as circumstances change) • Small changes produce large effects
How is it done? • Chaotic systems can be controlled by using the underlying non-linear deterministic structure. • Exploit extreme sensitivity to initial conditions • Use small, appropriately timed changes to bring the system onto the stable manifold of an unstable orbit
Famous examples Chaotic ribbon Lorentz equations
Two methods • Ott, Grebogi, Yorke: modify parameters of the system to move the stable manifold to the current system state • Garfinkel et. al. (Proportional perturbation feedback): force the system onto the stable manifold by a small perturbation
Variation of a parameter in the Hénon map Legend: Green =stable manifold Red = unstable manifold
Controlling chaos when the equations determining the system are not known • Let Z1, Z2,…,Zn be a trajectory, or a series of piercing of a Poincare surface-of-section • If two successive Zs are close, then there will be a period one orbit Z* nearby • Find other such close successive pairs of points, which will exist because orbits on a strange attractor are ergodic. • Perform a regression to estimate A, an approximation of the Jacobian matrix, and C, a constant vector. • For period 2 points, proceed the same way, for pairs (Zn, Zn+2)
Neurons Schiff et al. removed and sectioned the hippocampus of rats (where sensory inputs and distributed to the forebrain) and perfused it with artificial cerebrospinal fluid.
