Abstract

The recognition of chaos as a new type of behavior for complex systems initially spurred efforts to avoid it and, later, to control it. Yet in many cases chaos may be beneficial. We present a method for maintaining chaos in physical systems and implement the method on a simple magnetomechanical system. Application to other systems is discussed briefly.
