Average predictive control for nonlinear discrete dynamical systems

Abstract

We explore the problem of stabilization of unstable periodic orbits in discrete nonlinear dynamical systems. This work proposes the generalization of predictive control method for resolving the stabilization problem. Our method embodies the development of control method proposed by B.T. Polyak. The control we propose uses a linear (convex) combination of iterated functions. With the proposed method auxiliary, the problem of robust cycle stabilization for various cases of its multipliers localization is solved. An algorithm for finding a given length cycle when its multipliers are known is described as a particular case of our method application. Also, we present numerical simulation re- sults for some well-known mappings and the possibility of further generalization of this method.
