    Controlling unstable chaos: Stabilizing chimera states by feedback
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2013) Sieber, Jan; Omel'chenko, Oleh; Wolfrum, Matthias
    We present a control scheme that is able to find and stabilize a chaotic saddle in a system with a large number of interacting particles. This allows us to track a high dimensional chaotic attractor through a bifurcation where it loses its attractivity. Similar to classical delayed feedback control, the scheme is non-invasive, however, only in an appropriately relaxed sense considering the chaotic regime as a statistical equilibrium displaying random fluctuations as a finite size effect. We demonstrate the control scheme for so called chimera states, which are coherence-incoherence patterns in coupled oscillator systems. The control makes chimera states observable close to coherence, for small numbers of oscillators, and for random initial conditions.

    Temporal dissipative solitons in time-delay feedback systems
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2019) Yanchuk, Serhiy; Ruschel, Stefan; Sieber, Jan; Wolfrum, Matthias
    Localized states are a universal phenomenon observed in spatially distributed dissipative nonlinear systems. Known as dissipative solitons, auto-solitons, spot or pulse solutions, these states play an important role in data transmission using optical pulses, neural signal propagation, and other processes. While this phenomenon was thoroughly studied in spatially extended systems, temporally localized states are gaining attention only recently, driven primarily by applications from fiber or semiconductor lasers. Here we present a theory for temporal dissipative solitons (TDS) in systems with time-delayed feedback. In particular, we derive a system with an advanced argument, which determines the profile of the TDS. We also provide a complete classification of the spectrum of TDS into interface and pseudo-continuous spectrum. We illustrate our theory with two examples: a generic delayed phase oscillator, which is a reduced model for an injected laser with feedback, and the FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron with delayed feedback. Finally, we discuss possible destabilization mechanisms of TDS and show an example where the TDS delocalizes and its pseudo-continuous spectrum develops a modulational instability.

    On the stability of periodic orbits in delay equations with large delay
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2011) Sieber, Jan; Wolfrum, Matthias; Lichtner, Mark; Yanchuk, Serhiy
    We prove a necessary and sufficient criterion for the exponential stability of periodic solutions of delay differential equations with large delay. We show that for sufficiently large delay the Floquet spectrum near criticality is characterized by a set of curves, which we call asymptotic continuous spectrum, that is independent on the delay

    Regular and irregular patterns of self-localized excitation in arrays of coupled phase oscillators
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2015) Wolfrum, Matthias; Omel'chenko, Oleh; Sieber, Jan
    We study a system of phase oscillators with non-local coupling in a ring that supports self-organized patterns of coherence and incoherence, called chimera states. Introducing a global feedback loop, connecting the phase lag to the order parameter, we can observe chimera states also for systems with a small number of oscillators. Numerical simulations show a huge variety of regular and irregular patterns composed of localized phase slipping events of single oscillators. Using methods of classical finite dimensional chaos and bifurcation theory, we can identify the emergence of chaotic chimera states as a result of transitions to chaos via period doubling cascades, torus breakup, and intermittency. We can explain the observed phenomena by a mechanism of self-modulated excitability in a discrete excitable medium.
