A review on the application of Melnikov's method to control homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos in low-dimensional, non-autonomous and dissipative oscillator systems by weak harmonic excitations is presented, including diverse applications, such as chaotic escape from a potential well, chaotic solitons in Frenkel-Kontorova chains and chaotic-charged particles in the field of an electrostatic wave packet.
