Stabilization of unstable steads states by time-delayed feedback methods — •Philipp Hövel and Eckehard Schöll — Technische Universität Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany

Time-delayed feedback methods have successfully been used to control unstable periodic ortbits. We show that the same technique provides a tool to stabilize unstable steady states. We present an analytical investigation of the feedback scheme using the Lambert function and discuss effects of both a low-pass filter included in the control loop and non-zero latency times, i.e., the time associated with the generation and injection of the feedack singal.
