Scaling properties of simple limiter control.

"Simple limiter control" of chaotic systems is analytically and numerically investigated, proceeding from the one-dimensional case to higher dimensions. The properties of the control method are fully described by the one-parameter one-dimensional flat-top map family, implying that orbits are stabilized in exponential time, independent of the periodicity and without the need for targeting. Fine-tuning of the control is limited by superexponential scaling in the control space, where orbits of the uncontrolled system are obtained for a set of zero Lebesgue measure. In higher dimensions, simple limiter control is a highly efficient control method, provided that the proper limiter form and placement are chosen.
