    • A Control Algorithm for Chaotic Physical Systems 

      Bradley, Elizabeth (1991-10-01)
      Control algorithms which exploit the unique properties of chaos can vastly improve the design and performance of many practical and useful systems. The program Perfect Moment is built around such an algorithm. Given ...
    • Control Algorithms for Chaotic Systems 

      Bradley, Elizabeth (1991-03-01)
      This paper presents techniques that actively exploit chaotic behavior to accomplish otherwise-impossible control tasks. The state space is mapped by numerical integration at different system parameter values and ...
    • A Multiprocessor Architecture Using Modular Arithmetic for Very High Precision Computation 

      Wu, Henry M. (1989-04-01)
      We outline a multiprocessor architecture that uses modular arithmetic to implement numerical computation with 900 bits of intermediate precision. A proposed prototype, to be implemented with off-the-shelf parts, will ...
    • Numerical Evidence that the Motion of Pluto is Chaotic 

      Sussman, Gerald Jay; Wisdom, Jack (1988-04-01)
      The Digital Orrery has been used to perform an integration of the motion of the outer planets for 845 million years. This integration indicates that the long-term motion of the planet Pluto is chaotic. Nearby trajectories ...
    • The Standard Map Machine 

      LaMacchia, Brian; Nieh, Jason (1989-09-01)
      We have designed the Standard Map Machine(SMM) as an answer to the intensive computational requirements involved in the study of chaotic behavior in nonlinear systems. The high-speed and high-precision performance of ...
    • Using Special-Purpose Computing to Examine Chaotic Behavior in Nonlinear Mappings 

      Nieh, Jason (1989-09-01)
      Studying chaotic behavior in nonlinear systems requires numerous computations in order to simulate the behavior of such systems. The Standard Map Machine was designed and implemented as a special computer for performing ...
