Control of chaotic solitons by a time-delayed feedback mechanism

Abstract:
We investigate a control of chaotic solitons using a modified time-delayed autosynchronization method. Numerical results for the maximal Lyapunov exponent are in very good agreement with analytical theory developed originally for low-dimensional systems. The control is most efficient when the spatial distribution of the control force is proportional to the kink translational mode. Observations of the motion of the kink center and the total power transmitted to the system lead to the same values of the maximal Lyapunov exponent.

Effects of feedback
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...
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...
