Melnikov method approach to control of homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos   by weak harmonic excitations
  A review on the application of Melnikov's method to control homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos in low-dimensional, non-autonomous and dissipative, oscillator systems by weak harmonic excitations is presented, including diverse applications such as chaotic escape from a potential well, chaotic solitons in Frenkel-Kontorova chains, and chaotic charged particles in the field of an electrostatic wave packet.
