title: Stabilizing long-period orbits via symbolic dynamics in simple limiter controllers.
abstract: We present an efficient approach to determine the control parameter of simple limiter controllers by using symbolic dynamics of one-dimensional unimodal maps. By applying addition- and subtraction-symbol rules for generating an admissible periodic sequence, we deal with the smallest base problem of the digital tent map. The proposed solution is useful for minimizing the configuration of digital circuit designs for a given target sequence. With the use of the limiter controller, we show that one-dimensional unimodal maps may be robustly employed to generate the maximum-length shift-register sequences. For an arbitrary long Sarkovskii sequence, the control parameters are analytically given.
