Abstract

We derive the properties of a general control algorithm [Braiman et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 094301 (2003)] for quantities describing global features of nonlinear extended mechanical systems. The control algorithm is based on the concepts of non-Lipschitzian dynamics and global targeting. We show that (i) certain average quantities of the controlled system can be driven-exactly or approximately-towards desired targets which become linearly stable attractors for the system's dynamics; (ii) the basins of attraction of these targets are reached in very short times; and (iii) while within reasonably broad ranges the time-scales of the control and of the intrinsic dynamics may be quite different, this disparity does not affect significantly the overall efficiency of the proposed scheme, up to natural fluctuations.
