Chaos Control and Anticontrol of the Output Duopoly Competing Evolution Model by Zhaoqing Li, Yongping Zhang, Tongqian Zhang

“…Based on the definition and its stability of the passive system, the passive control items are designed to the output of the duopoly competition evolution model, and the efficacy of the control methods is shown by the Lyapunov indexes. Then, the optimal function control method is taken to carry on the chaotic anticontrol to the chaotic system, and the Lyapunov indexes illustrate the control result. …”
