Controlling spatiotemporal chaos in a chain of the coupled logistic maps

A method of controlling spatiotemporal chaos in a chain of the logistic maps, based on the Ott, Grebogi, Yorke (OGY) approach, is proposed in the paper. Forms of spatiotemporal disturbances of a system parameter are determined analytically to stabilize desired spatiotemporal states. The results are illustrated by numerical experiments. Transitions of the system under control from the regime of spatiotemporal chaos to the regular homogeneous regime with temporal period one, two, four, and also to more complicated regular regimes with different spatial and temporal periods have been demonstrated
