Question 1

A negative-feedback controller like a thermostat works by measuring the difference between the actual state x of the system and the desired state of the system (the 'setpoint'). If that quantity () is negative, it turns down the heat.

Question 2

OGY control can be used to balance a chaotic system on one of its unstable periodic orbits.

Question 3

The denseness with which any trajectory in the basin covers a chaotic attractor plays a critical role in OGY control.
