The control method of Ott, Grebogi and Yorke (1990) as applied to the Rössler system, a set of three-dimensional non-linear differential equations, is examined. Using numerical time series data for a single dynamical variable the method was successfully employed to control several of the unstable periodic orbits in a three-dimensional embedding of the data. The method also failed for a number of unstable periodic orbits due to difficulties in linearising about the orbit or the tangential coincidence of the stable manifold and the motion of the orbit with external parameter.
