We report on the tendency of chaotic systems to be controlled onto their unstable periodic orbits in such a way that these orbits are stabilized. The resulting orbits are known as cupolets and collectively provide a rich source of qualitative information on the associated chaotic dynamical system. We show that pairs of interacting cupolets may be induced into a state of mutually sustained stabilization that requires no external intervention in order to be maintained and is thus considered bound or entangled. A number of properties of this sort of entanglement are discussed. For instance, should the interaction be disturbed, then the chaotic entanglement would be broken. Based on certain properties of chaotic systems and on examples which we present, there is further potential for chaotic entanglement to be naturally occurring. A discussion of this and of the implications of chaotic entanglement in future research investigations is also presented.

Classical feedback method is used to control chaos in the Liu dynamical system. Based on the Routh–Hurwitz criteria, the conditions of the asymptotic stability of the steady states of the controlled Liu system are discussed, and they are also proved theoretically. Numerical simulations show that the method can suppress chaos to both unstable equilibrium points and unstable periodic orbits (limit cycles) successfully.

In this work we propose a method that exploits the feedback between empirical and theoretical knowledge of a complex macroscopic system in order to build a nonlinear model. We apply the method to the monthly earth's mean surface temperature time series. The problems of contamination and stationarity are considered noting the importance of observation and modeling scales. We construct a dynamical system of ordinary differential equations where the vector field relating the relevant degrees of freedom and their variations in time is expressed in terms of a polynomial base orthonormal to the measure associated to the time series under study. The optimal size of the model and the values of its parameters are estimated with the principle of minimum description length and the Adams–Molton predictor–corrector method. This procedure is self-consistent because it does not use any external parameter or assumption. We then present a first approach to find the closest chaotic dynamical system corresponding to the earth's mean surface temperature and compare it with scale consistent theoretical or phenomenological models of the lower atmosphere. This comparison allows us to obtain an explicit functional form of the heat capacity of the earth's surface as a function of the earth's mean surface temperature.

The behavior of a dissipative chaotic dynamical system is determined by the skeleton of its strange attractor, which consists of an uncountably infinite set of unstable periodic orbits. Each orbit is a topological knot, and the set is an infinite link. The types of knots and links supported by the system may be determined by collapsing the attractor along its local stable manifolds to form a template, a branched two manifold with boundary that supports the same set of knots and links as the original attractor. We show that the strange attractor of a chaotic, vertically forced physical pendulum can be collapsed to a template that supports all knots and links. Thus, one of the simplest and most well known dynamical systems is capable of the most complex behavior possible.

Based on the theory of symbolic dynamical systems, we propose a novel computation method to locate and stabilize the unstable periodic points (UPPs) in a two-dimensional dynamical system with a Smale horseshoe. This method directly implies a new framework for controlling chaos. By introducing the subset based correspondence between a planar dynamical system and a symbolic dynamical system, we locate regions sectioned by stable and unstable manifolds comprehensively and identify the specified region containing a UPP with the particular period. Then Newton’s method compensates the accurate location of the UPP with the regional information as an initial estimation. On the other hand, the external force control (EFC) is known as an effective method to stabilize the UPPs. By applying the EFC to the located UPPs, robust controlling chaos is realized. In this framework, we never use ad hoc approaches to find target UPPs in the given chaotic set. Moreover, the method can stabilize UPPs with the specified period regardless of the situation where the targeted chaotic set is attractive. As illustrative numerical experiments, we locate and stabilize UPPs and the corresponding unstable periodic orbits in a horseshoe structure of the Duffing equation. In spite of the strong instability of UPPs, the controlled orbit is robust and the control input retains being tiny in magnitude.

AbstractThe properties of the characteristic curves of several families of periodic orbits, in a conservative dynamical system of two degrees of freedom, symmetric with respect to both axes, are reviewed. The two main types of families are presented. One sees that the pattern of the characteristics in the exact resonance case is similar to that of the near resonance case except for the basic characteristic . The form of the characteristics can be found theoretically by means of the second integral.
