Fluctuations and the energy-optimal control of chaos

The energy-optimal entraining of the dynamics of a periodically driven oscillator, moving it from a chaotic attractor to a coexisting stable limit cycle, is investigated via analysis of fluctuational transitions between the two states. The deterministic optimal control function is identified with the corresponding optimal fluctuational force, which is found by numerical and analog simulations.

Kramers problem for a multiwell potential

Fluctuational escape from a multiwell potential is shown to display new features, as compared to the conventional single-well case. The flux J may depend on friction gamma exponentially strongly, over an exponentially long period; for small enough temperatures, J(gamma) undergoes marked oscillations in the range of small gamma, and the time evolution of J changes drastically as gamma exceeds a critical value.
