TARGETING OF CHAOTIC DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS USING NONLINEAR APPROXIMATIONS

The ideas underpinning a technique of using nonlinear approximations to control chaotic dynamical systems are shown to be useful as a basis for the development of effective methods for targeting these systems. The inverses of the maps under consideration are not required. The methods are applied to the Henon and Ikeda maps and also to an Ikeda-like map.
