Preserving transient chaos

Abstract We present a controlling method which allows either the preservation of transient chaos or a significant decrease of its lifetime. For the description of transient chaotic evolution we introduce practical Lyapunov exponents. Success of the method requires some knowledge, based on observation, of the character of the chaotic repeller which drives the transient chaos, but its application is then straightforward.
