Summary
In this paper we analyze a model for the effect of digital control on one-dimensional, linearly unstable dynamical systems. Our goal is to explain the existence of small, irregular oscillations that are frequently observed near the desired equilibrium. We derive a one-dimensional map that captures exactly the dynamics of the continuous system. Using thismicro-chaos map, we prove the existence of a hyperbolic strange attractor for a large set of parameter values. We also construct an “instability chart” on the parameter plane to describe how the size and structure of the chaotic attractor changes as the parameters are varied. The applications of our results include the stick-and-slip motion of machine tools and other mechanical problems with locally negative dissipation.
