| A curious feature of non-locally coupled phase oscillator is the emergence of chimera states. These localized pattern are characterized by localized phase synchrony while the remaining oscillators move incoherently. The position of synchronized region however depends strongly on the initial condition and is subject to pseudo-random fluctuations. Here we apply the idea of control to chimera states; through a new dynamic control scheme that exploits drift, a chimera will attain any desired target position. Our control approach extends beyond chimera states as it may also be used to optimize more general objective functions. |
