From Chaos to Order - Methodologies, Perspectives and Applications

Part 1 Prologue - chaos and order ordering chaos organization of the monograph. Part 2 Parametric variation approaches: parametric variation for control of chaos an earlier attempt the OGY method and its variants new development. Part 3 Conventional engineering control approaches: engineering perspectives on control of chaos controlling chaos via external forces open-loop control methods feedback mechanism - a control engineer's perspective controlling discrete-time chaotic systems controlling continuous-time chaotic systems a closer look at Lyapunov-type approach adaptive control of chaotic systems optimal control of chaotic systems robust control of chaotic systems a stochastic control technique new development. Part 4 Other approaches to controlling chaos: intelligent control approaches controlling chaos in DAI systems synchronization and control of chaos unification of synchronization and control new development. Part 5 Some applications of controlling chaos: chaotic synchronization for secure communication chaos and biomedical systems chaos and biochemical systems controlling chaos of laser systems controlling chaos in fluid dynamics new development. Part 6 Controlling chaos - further discussions: general perspectives to probe further toward an integrated and unified framework.
