Abstract:
The interplay of time-delayed feedback and temporally correlated coloured noise in a single and two coupled excitable systems is studied in the framework of the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) model. By using coloured noise instead of white noise, the noise correlation time is introduced as an additional time scale. We show that in a single FHN system the major time scale of oscillations is strongly influenced by the noise correlation time, which in turn affects the maxima of coherence with respect to the delay time. In two coupled FHN systems, coloured noise input to one subsystem influences coherence resonance and stochastic synchronization of both subsystems. Application of delayed feedback control to the coloured noise-driven subsystem is shown to change coherence and time scales of noise-induced oscillations in both systems, and to enhance or suppress stochastic synchronization under certain conditions.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
