Controlling chaos by the system size

Abstract Despite the ubiquity of physical systems evolving on time-dependent spatial domains, understanding their regular and chaotic dynamics is still in a rudimentary state. While chaos implies that the system’s behavior can be altered by small perturbations, this sensitivity proves to be useful f...
