Stabilization of unstable steady states and periodic orbits in an electrochemical system using delayed-feedback control

We report numerical and experimental results indicating successful stabilization of unstable steady states and periodic orbits in an electrochemical system. Applying a continuous delayed-feedback technique not only periodic and chaotic oscillations are suppressed via stabilization of steady-state solutions but also the chaotic dynamics can be converted to periodic behavior. In all cases the feedback perturbation vanishes as a target state is attained.
