Controlling Chaos Using Input–Output Linearization Approach

Abstract

In this article the input–output linearization approach is used for controlling chaos. It is shown that by using only partial states, the entire chaotic system is stabilizable, provided the zero dynamics is stable. Generally speaking, trajectories of chaotic systems do not grow exponentially and are usually bounded. In particular, for dissipative chaotic systems the stable zero dynamics can always be found. Hence the stabilization as well as tracking periodic signals are possible. The Lorenz system is used to inform the discussion. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the approach.
