Abstract: In this paper, a method based on intermittent linear feedback to control Henon-like attractor is proposed. The technique consists of autonomous and controlling phases. The different stable periodic orbits are obtained by adjusting the feedback coefficients and the time duration, which the control phase occupies. As an example, we get the expected conclusion by numerically simulating the Henon-like attractor with unidentical feedback coefficients. The results from the computer simulation show that the proposed scheme can switch effectively the system to the desired periodic orbits.
