More Details: This paper studies a control method for switching stable coexisting attractors of a class of non-autonomous dynamical systems. The central idea is to introduce a continuous path for the system's trajectory to transition from its original undesired stable attractor to a desired one by varying one of the system parameters according to the information of the desired attractor. The behaviour of the control is studied numerically for both non-smooth and smooth dynamical systems, using a sof-impact and a Duffing oscillator as examples. Special attention is given to identify the regions where the proposed control strategy is applicable by using the path-following methods implemented via the continuation platform COCO. It is shown that the proposed control concept can be implemented through either using an external control input or varying a system parameter. Finally, extensive numerical results are presented to validate the proposed control methods.
