Abstract: | In this paper, the impacts of the recycled signal on the dynamic complexity have been studied theoretically and numerically in a prototypical nonlinear dynamical system. The Melnikov theory is employed to determine the critical boundary, and the statistical complexity measure (SCM) is defined and calculated to quantify the dynamic complexity. It has been found that one can switch the dynamics from the periodic motion to a chaotic one or suppress the chaotic behavior to a periodic one, merely via adjusting the time delay or the amplitude of the recycled signal, therefore, providing a candidate to tame the dynamic complexity in nonlinear dynamical systems. |
