Control of Spatio-Temporal Chaos Open-loop method: Break the degeneracy by a 3rdcontrolling frequency – W : a(nevenw0, noddw0, W) =aevencos(nevenwt)+aoddcos(noddwt)+AW cos(W t) W – even/odd multiple of w The principle: The parity of the perturbation frequency – W will induce the selection of the same-parity state. Use of symmetries (temporal parity) of the systems for both control of this type of Spatio-Temporal Chaos and selection of states • T. Epstein and J. F., PRL92, 244502 (2004)
Locked 2MS state aW -lock Controlling with odd 3rd frequency of W =w0 • Locking occurs at small aW amplitudes (aW < 0.5 aW-crit.). • The Chaotic state rapidly becomes “controlled”
Rapid Switching Switching the parity of the control frequency will trigger a rapid transition between states of different temporal symmetries Odd → Even (W = w 0 → W = 2w 0) Even → Odd (W = 2w 0 → W = w 0) This switching is achieved within time in order of a single period.
Conclusions: • Characterization of Spatio-Temporal Chaos. • Competition between degenerate modes that possess different temporal and spatial symmetries • Open loop control of STC. • Small periodic perturbations having well-defined temporal symmetries A general method. relevant for any parametrically forced system: e.g. nonlinear optics, forced reaction diffusion
