Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 094301 (2003) [4 pages]Control of Friction at the NanoscaleReceived 23 July 2002; published 5 March 2003 We propose a new algorithm to control frictional dynamics of a small array of particles towards preassigned values of the average sliding velocity. The control is based on the concepts of non-Lipschitzian dynamics and terminal attractor. Extensive numerical simulations illustrate the robustness, efficiency, and convenience of the algorithm. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
