We present and analyze the first example of a dynamical system that naturally exhibits attracting periodic orbits that are \textit{unstable}. These unstable attractors occur in networks of pulse-coupled oscillators where they prevail for…

We study a system of dynamical units, each of which shows excitable or oscillatory behavior, depending on the choice of parameters. When we couple these units with repressive bonds, we can control the duration of collective oscillations for…

This paper describes a predictive control method to search for unstable periodic orbits of the generalized tent map. The invariant set containing periodic orbits is a repelling set with a complicated Cantor-like structure. Therefore, a…

We undertake a systematic exploration of recurrent patterns in a 1-dimensional Kuramoto-Sivashinsky system. For a small, but already rather turbulent system, the long-time dynamics takes place on a low-dimensional invariant manifold. A set…
