Oscillating delayed feedback control schemes for stabilizing equilibrium points

摘要

Limitations of the delayed feedback control and of its extended versions have been fully treated in the literature. The oscillating delayed feedback control appears as a promising scheme to overcome this problem. Two methods based on it are dealt with in this work. It is rigorously proven that for a nonlinear scalar system, stabilization in one of its (unstable) equilibrium points is achieved if any of these methods is applied. An ad-hoc map is associated to the (continuous) controlled system and the results are derived using discrete-time system stabilization tools. Moreover, the stability parameters region is fully described and issues like control performance, rate of convergence or robustness aspects are carefully analyzed.
