TL;DR
A method for controlling spatiotemporal chaos in certain classes of spatially extended systems is proposed, which applies to the one- and two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and a recent model of spiral breakup in excitable media.
Abstract
A method for controlling spatiotemporal chaos in certain classes of spatially extended systems is proposed. In these systems, unstable defects emit convectively unstable waves which subsequently break and may nucleate new defects. Control is achieved via the stabilization of one such active wave source, which then sweeps all of the chaotic fluctuations to the system boundaries. This method is applied to the one- and two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, and to a recent model of spiral breakup in excitable media.

It was demonstrated that one can convert the motion of a chaotic dynamical system to periodic motion by controlling the system about one of the many unstable periodic orbits embedded in the chaotic attractor, through only small time dependent perturbations in an accessible system parameter.

The range of behavioral flexibility of the FitzHugh-Nagumo excitable medium is explored by varying two of its parameters and comparing the results with other excitable media to suggest a generic pattern of parameter dependence.

Two-variable model equations that capture some essential dynamical features of quantitative electrophysiological models of cardiac tissue are introduced and spontaneous spiral breakup leading to a spatially disorganized electrical wave activity is shown to occur as a direct consequence of this instability.

By increasing the Fresnel number F of a ring cavity with photorefractive gain, the transition between a low-F regime, where a few modes compete with a periodic alternation which becomes irregular with increasing F, and a high-F regimes, where many modes oscillate simultaneously, gives rise to chaotic domains spatially correlated over a length much shorter than the wave-front size.

Instabilities in the circulation of a pulse in a ring of excitable cardiac tissue are analyzed using a reaction-diffusion partial differential equation and a neutral delay-differential equation that is proposed as a model for the PDE.

It is shown that the Eckhaus instability for traveling waves is of convective nature and does not directly lead to absolute instability, and spiral waves remain stable in a larger range than expected previously, and transition to defect-mediated turbulence can be delayed beyond the Benjamin-Feir limit.

The cubic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is often used to model oscillatory media and it is found that this family of moving «hole» solutions acting as sources for traveling waves is destroyed by arbitrarily small generic perturbations leaving only the stationary phase-slip solutions.
