Abstract:
Controlling a strange attractor, or say, a chaotic attractor, is introduced in this chapter. Because of the importance to control the undesirable behavior in systems, researchers are investigating the use of linear and nonlinear controllers either to get rid of such oscillations (in power systems) or to match two chaotic systems (in secure communications). The idea of using the fuzzy logic concept for controlling chaotic behavior is presented. There are two good reasons for using the fuzzy control: first, mathematical model is not required for the process, and second, the nonlinear controller can be developed empirically, without complicated mathematics. The two systems are well-known models, so the first reason is not a big deal, but we can take advantage from the second reason.
