About Special Issue

In the last decades Chaos theory has become a very important research field, employing many applications in different disciplines like physics, chemistry, biology, engineering and economics, among others. Its scope is based on scientific studies associated with the search on behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems, which are highly sensitive to their initial conditions (chaotic systems). In time several kinds of sub-working fields have also been introduced within the context of research studies on the Chaos theory.
Chaos control (control of chaos) and chaos synchronization are some sub-working fields that can be examined within the mentioned content. Chaos control and chaos synchronization are especially remarkable and important research fields aiming to affect dynamics of chaotic systems in order to use them for different kinds of applications that can be examined within many different fields like computer sciences, mechanics, communication, economics and finance, biology, chemistry, medicine, geology, among others.
Currently, there are different kinds of approaches or methods that have been proposed for performing chaos control and chaos synchronization tasks. But because of some disadvantages and limitations of these ones, newer approaches or methods are designed and introduced by researchers to improve the related works within the field. Additionally, there are also many studies already introduced in order to improve more advanced solutions for problems of chaos control and chaos synchronization. Most of these studies include usage of intelligent approaches or systems on the related problems of the Chaos theory.
So, this Special Issue aims at presenting the latest developments, trends, research solutions and applications of control and synchronization of chaotic systems. Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

• Control of oscillations and chaos.
• Chaotic synchronization.
• Artificial intelligence techniques and their usage on control of chaos and chaos synchronization, such as Fuzzy Logic, Artificial Neural Networks, Genetic Algorithms, etc.
• Optimization algorithms and their applications on synchronization and control of chaos, such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO), Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), etc.
• Newer approaches, methods and techniques of control and chaos synchronization.
• Designed and developed hybrid systems for synchronization and control of chaos.
• Newer approaches for improving introduced classical control and synchronization methods on chaotic systems.
• Applications of synchronization and control of chaos in computer sciences, mechanics, economics and finance, biology, chemistry, medicine, geology etc.
• Applications of synchronization and control of chaos in engineering field, such as in secure communication schemes, cryptography etc.
