Abstract:
Application of time-delayed feedback is a practical method of controlling bifurcations in reaction-diffusion systems. It has been shown that for a suitable feedback strength, time delay beyond a threshold may induce spatiotemporal instabilities. For an appropriate parameter space with differential diffusivities of the activator-inhibitor species, delayed feedback may generate Turing instability via a Hopf-Turing transition, resulting in stationary patterns. This is explored by a theoretical scheme in a photosensitive chlorine dioxide-iodine-malonic acid reaction-diffusion system where the delayed feedback is externally tuned by photoillumination intensity. Our analytical results corroborate with direct numerical simulations.

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...
