Delayed-feedback control of spatial bifurcations and chaos in open-flow models

Abstract:
A delayed-feedback control scheme is presented for suppressing spatial bifurcation and chaotic behavior in open-flow models. It is shown that spatial bifurcation and chaotic behavior never occur when the delayed-feedback controller is designed such that the following two conditions are satisfied: all the poles of the transfer function of each site are inside a unit circle and the H(infinity) norm of the transfer function is less than 1. We provide a simple systematic procedure for design of the delayed-feedback controller. It is confirmed that our theoretical results agree well with the numerical simulations.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal and...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
