This study introduces a novel control method using local feedback with time delays to manipulate spatiotemporal chaos. The technique effectively transforms chaotic spiral waves into guided plane waves and enables spiral wave trapping.

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Dynamics
  • Complex Systems Control

Background:

  • Spatiotemporal chaos, characterized by complex patterns evolving in space and time, poses challenges in various scientific and engineering fields.
  • Existing methods for controlling chaotic systems often lack precision or broad applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a robust control method for manipulating spatiotemporal chaos.
  • To investigate the efficacy of using lumped local feedback with time delays for pattern transformation and stabilization.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a control strategy involving lumped local feedback with multiple delay times.
  • Application and simulation of the control method on the two-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau and Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations.

Main Results:
