Resonant control of stochastic spatiotemporal dynamics in a tunnel diode by multiple time-delayed feedback

Delay stabilization of periodic orbits in coupled oscillator systems

We study diffusively coupled oscillators in Hopf normal form. By introducing a non-invasive delay coupling, we are able to stabilize the inherently unstable anti-phase orbits. For the super- and subcritical cases, we state a condition on the oscillator's nonlinearity that is necessary and sufficient to find coupling parameters for successful stabilization. We prove these conditions and review previous results on the stabilization of odd-number orbits by time-delayed feedback. Finally, we illustrate the results with numerical simulations.
