Abstract

Our aim is the stabilization of time-periodic spatio-temporal synchronization patterns. Our primary examples are coupled networks of Stuart-Landau oscillators. We work in the spirit of Pyragas control by noninvasive delayed feedback. In addition we take advantage of symmetry aspects. For simplicity of presentation we first focus on a ring of coupled oscillators. We show how symmetry-breaking controls succeed in selecting and stabilizing unstable periodic orbits of rotating wave type. Standard Pyragas control at minimal period fails in this selection task. Instead, we use arbitrarily small noninvasive time-delays. As a consequence we succeed in stabilizing rotating waves—for arbitrary coupling strengths, and far from equilibrium.
