Controlling Dynamics of Hidden Attractors

Abstract
Amplitude death (AD) in hidden attractors is attained with a scheme of linear augmentation. This linear control scheme is capable of stabilizing the system to a fixed point state even when the original system does not have any fixed point. Depending on the control parameter, different routes to AD such as boundary crises and Hopf bifurcation are observed. Lyapunov exponent and amplitude index are used to study the dynamical properties of the system.
