In recent years, there has been increasing interest in bifurcation control. Anti-control of bifurcation, as opposed to the bifurcation control, which means to design a controller to reduce some of the existing bifurcation dynamics of a given nonlinear system, refers to a task of creating a certain bifurcation at a desired location with preferred properties by appropriate controls. In this study, the anti-control of Hopf bifurcations was investigated. A Hopf bifurcation was introduced at a designed stable equilibrium point, followed by employing...
