Mchiri Mohamed, Trabelsi Karim, Safya Belghith . Chaos Suppression in forced Van Der Pol Oscillator. International Journal of Computer Applications. 68, 23 ( April 2013), 18-23. DOI=10.5120/11719-7388
This paper presents a new method of controlling chaos in the nonlinear Van Der Pol oscillator with uncertainties. The proposed method is based on a nonlinear observer to estimate unmeasured velocity signal coupled to a control law. The observer ensures, firstly, an asymptotic convergence of the velocity estimation error. Then, the control law, which is based on the estimated variables, forces the output system to track a desired trajectory despite presence of uncertainties (external forces) on the system dynamics. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
