On the stabilization of periodic orbits for discrete time chaotic systems by using scalar feedback

In this paper we consider the stabilization problem of unstable periodic orbits of discrete time chaotic systems by using a scalar input. We use a simple periodic delayed feedback law and present some stability results. These results show that all hyperbolic periodic orbits as well as some nonhyperbolic periodic orbits can be stabilized with the proposed method by using a scalar input, provided that some controllability or observability conditions are satisfied. The stability proofs also lead to the possible feedback gains which achieve stabilization. We will present some simulation results as well.
