Chaos Suppression via Integrative Time Delay Control

Abstract

A general strategy for suppressing chaos in chaotic Burke–Shaw system using integrative time delay (ITD) control is proposed, as an example. The idea of ITD is that the feedback is integrated over a time interval. Physically, the chaotic system responds to the average information it receives from the feedback. The main feature of integrative is that the stability of the chaotic system occurs over a wider range of the space parameters. Controlling chaotic systems with ITD has not been discussed before as far as we know. Stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are studied which demonstrate that the switch stability occurs at critical values of the time delay. Employing the normal form theory and center manifold argument, an explicit formula is derived to determine the stability and the direction of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Numerically, the bifurcation diagram and the eigenvalues of the corresponding characteristic equations are computed to supply a clear interpretation for suppressing chaos via ITD. Furthermore, ITD method is compared with the time delayed feedback (TDF) control numerically. This comparison shows that the stability area with ITD is larger than TDF which demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the ITD. Other examples of chaotic systems can be similarly investigated.
