title: Control of transient chaos in tent maps near crisis. II. Periodic orbit targeting
abstract: Recent work on a symbolic approach to the calculation of probability distributions arising in the application of the Ott-Grebogi-Yorke strategy to transiently chaotic tent maps is extended to the case of control to a nontrivial periodic orbit. Closed forms are derived for the probability of control being achieved and the average number of iterations to control when it occurs. Both single-component and multiple-component targeting are considered, and illustrative examples of the results obtained are presented.
