Chaos control using local polynomial approximation

Chaotic systems may be defined as those whose behaviour is sensitively dependent on initial conditions. Such systems may be made periodic using small input perturbations, as proposed in [OGY90]; this is called Ott-Grebogi-Yorke (OGY) chaos control. The original method used a linear model for controller design; a later development of chaos control was [CCdF99], in which a polynomial model is used. This dissertation proposes using local Taylor polynomial models as a basis for chaos control.
