Abstract

The modest aim of this case study is the non-invasive and pattern-selective stabilization of discrete rotating waves ('ponies on a merry-go-round') in a triangle of diffusively coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. We work in a setting of symmetry-breaking equivariant Hopf bifurcation. Stabilization is achieved by delayed feedback control of Pyragas type, adapted to the selected spatio-temporal symmetry pattern. Pyragas controllability depends on the parameters for the diffusion coupling, the complex control amplitude and phase, the uncontrolled super-/sub-criticality of the individual oscillators and their soft/hard spring characteristics. We mathematically derive explicit conditions for Pyragas control to succeed.
