Complex dynamical systems, ranging from the climate, ecosystems to financial markets and
engineering applications typically have many coexisting attractors. This property of the …

Extreme events gain the attention of researchers due to their utmost importance in various
contexts ranging from climate to brain. An observable that deviates significantly from its long …

When nonlinear dynamical systems are coupled, depending on the intrinsic dynamics and
the manner in which the coupling is organized, a host of novel phenomena can arise. In this …

This book deals with the bifurcation and chaotic aspects of damped and driven nonlinear
oscillators. The analytical and numerical aspects of the chaotic dynamics of these oscillators …

The extreme sensitivity of chaotic systems to tiny perturbations (the 'butterfly effect') can be
used both to stabilize regular dynamic behaviours and to direct chaotic trajectories rapidly to …

We describe a method that converts the motion on a chaotic attractor to a desired attracting
time periodic motion by making only small time dependent perturbations of a control …

Controlling (or ordering) chaos is a new concept, which has recently drawn much attention
from the communities of engineering, physics, chemistry, biomedical sciences and …

In this paper, we study the synchronization of two coupled nonlinear, in particular chaotic,
systems which are not identical. We show how adaptive controllers can be used to adjust the …

The study of chaotic behavior has received substantial attention in many disciplines.
Although often based on deterministic models, chaos is associated with complex," random" …

A simple and robust procedure for freezing out chaotic behavior in systems composed of
interacting agents making decisions based on imperfect and delayed information is …
