A direct and effective linear-controller is employed to exactly control the locations of bifurcation points, both the symmetry-breaking bifurcation and the period-doubling bifurcation, in a cubic symmetry discrete system. Moreover, both the sensibility and the symmetry to the initial values of the system are analyzed. The lack of the solution branches due to the symmetry-breaking bifurcation can be reinstated temporarily by selecting the corresponding basins of attraction. The effectiveness of the controller is verified by numerical simulations.
