Abstract
Using a technique derived from nonlinear control theory, we demonstrate that two identical inertial ratchets transporting particles in two directions can be synchronized such that both ratchets transport particles in a desired direction. This novel approach to control of directed transport is applicable when there are multiple co-existing attractors in phase space transporting particles in different directions. Numerical simulations are employed to illustrate the approach.
