Periodicity plays a significant role in the chaos theory from the beginning since the skeleton of chaos can consist of infinitely many unstable periodic motions. This is true for chaos in the sense of Devaney [1], Li-Yorke [2] and the one…

Opposition flow control is a robust strategy that has been proved effective in turbulent wall-bounded flows. Its conventional setup consists of measuring wall-normal velocity in the buffer layer and opposing it at the wall. This work…

We study the ergodic control problem for a class of jump diffusions in $\mathbb{R}^d$, which are controlled through the drift with bounded controls. The Levy measure is finite, but has no particular structure; it can be anisotropic and…
The challenging problems, in the field of control of chaos or of transition to chaos, lie in the domain of infinite-dimensional systems. Access to all variables being impossible in this case and the controlling action being limited to a few…
Transient chaos is a characteristic behavior in nonlinear dynamics where trajectories in a certain region of phase space behave chaotically for a while, before escaping to an external attractor. In some situations the escapes are highly…
