DESCRIPTION:

Chaos theory deals with the behaviour of dynamical systems and maps that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. The sensitivity to initial conditions is usually called as butterfly effect for dynamical systems and maps. Chaotic systems can be observed in many natural systems such as weather and climate. Chaos theory has applications in several areas such as vibration control, electric circuits, chemical reactions, lasers, combustion engines, computers, cryptosystems, encryption, secure communications, biology, medicine, management, finance, etc. Chaotic behaviour can be studied through the analysis of a chaotic mathematical model (discrete or continuous). This book focuses on research problems like modelling and analysis of chaotic systems, stabilization and control of chaotic systems, chaos synchronization and applications, chaos in communications and cryptosystems, applications of chaos in engineering, etc. Various tools and methodologies have been developed for the analysis of chaotic systems such as Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents, active control, adaptive control, sliding mode control, backstepping control, fuzzy logic control, sampled-data feedback control, and this book will use latest control techniques for the study of chaotic systems and control.
Intelligent control describes a class of control techniques that use various artificial intelligence (AI) techniques such as neural network control, Bayesian control, fuzzy logic control, neuro-fuzzy control, expert systems, genetic control, evolutionary algorithms, and intelligent agents. Intelligent control systems are very useful when no mathematical model is available a priori and intelligent control itself develops a system to be controlled. Intelligent control is inspired by the intelligence and genetics of living beings. This book focuses on various applications of intelligent control on nonlinear control systems including chaotic systems.

OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK

The objective of this book takes a modest attempt to cover the framework of Chaos Theory and its applications in a single volume. The book is not only a valuable title on the publishing market, but is also a successful synthesis of Intelligent Control techniques in world literature. Several multi-disciplinary applications in Control, Engineering and computational intelligence will be discussed inside this volume. This book should be recommended to engineers of various specialties, mathematicians, information technology specialists and students of those or related specialties. Both novice and expert readers should find this book a useful reference in the field of chaos theory, soft-computing and intelligent control.
