In this brief, an adaptive chaos control method is developed for stabilizing chaotic systems at their unknown equilibrium(s) using the invariant manifold theory. The developed method overcomes the problem that the equilibrium(s) of the chaotic systems are dependent on the unknown system parameters, which makes direct application of the conventional adaptive control difficult. Further development of the adaptive chaos control is undertaken for the situation where the parameter estimates are only allowed to vary within a bounded set due to the sensitivity of chaotic systems to parameter variations. A sufficient condition for convergence of system states and parameter estimates is obtained. The design method developed then is applied to stabilizing the Lorenz chaotic system at an unknown equilibrium. Both mathematical and computational results have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method.
