Synopsis

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.

About this title

Review

"represents an attempt to collect some important advancements in the field of chaos control with emphasis on engineering applicationsa timely, relevant, well covered, highly readable book which is devoted to the emerging field of chaos controlmost pleasing part is the description of some successful examples in engineering design in which chaos control has played a crucial rolea valuable reference for engineers, scientists, researchers and graduate students who have to deal with physical systems, design engineering systems, or "use chaos" for practical purposes." -International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Vol. 11 Promo Copy
