Description: This volume explains, using simple examples, both the mathematical theory and experimental results used to apply chaotic dynamics to real engineering systems. Chua's circuit is used as an example throughout the book as it can be easily constructed in the laboratory and numerically modeled (it is piecewise linear), thus enabling the reader to test the theories presented in the book. The text is carefully balanced between theory and applications to allow the reader to fully grasp the concepts behind the complex ideas. In the final section of the book the author brings together carefully selected reprinted papers which have had a significant effect on the development of this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field. Controlling Chaos is essential reading for graduates, researchers and students wishing to be at the forefront of this exciting new branch of science.
