CONTROLLING CHAOTIC DYNAMICS USING BACKSTEPPING DESIGN WITH APPLICATION TO THE LORENZ SYSTEM AND CHUA'S CIRCUIT

Abstract
In this Letter backstepping design is proposed for controlling chaotic systems. The tool consists in a recursive procedure that combines the choice of a Lyapunov function with the design of feedback control. The advantages of the method are the following: (i) it represents a systematic procedure for controlling chaotic or hyperchaotic dynamics; (ii) it can be applied to several circuits and systems reported in literature; (iii) stabilization of chaotic motion to a steady state as well as tracking of any desired trajectory can be achieved. In order to illustrate the general applicability of backstepping design, the tool is utilized for controlling the chaotic dynamics of the Lorenz system and Chua's circuit. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the technique.
