Chaos Control of a Sprott Circuit Using Non-Linear Delayed Feedback Control Via Sliding Mode
In this paper a nonlinear delayed feedback control is proposed to control chaos in a nonlinear electrical circuit which is known as Sprott circuit. The chaotic behavior of the system is suppressed by stabilizing one of its first order Unstable Periodic Orbits (UPOs). Firstly, the system parameters assumed to be known, and a nonlinear delayed feedback control is designed to stabilize the UPO of the system. Then the sliding mode scheme of the proposed controller is presented in presence of model parameter uncertainties. The effectiveness of the presented methods is numerically investigated by stabilizing the unstable first order periodic orbit and is compared with a typical linear delayed feedback control. Simulation results show the high performance of the methods for chaos elimination in Sprott circuit.
