Stabilizing odd-number orbits close to a saddle-node bifurcation by time-delayed feedback control — •Valentin Flunkert¹, Bernold Fiedler¹, Philipp Hövel², Marc Georgi², and Eckehard Schöll¹ — ¹Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität, Berlin — ²Institut für Mathematik I, Freie Universität, Berlin

We demonstrate by a simple normal form model that an unstable periodic orbit generated by a saddle-node bifurcation can be stabilized using time-delayed feedback control.

This furnishes a further example, besides the subcritical Hopf bifurcation [1], that the alleged ”odd number limitation theorem”, which states that orbits with an odd number of positive Floquet multipliers greater than unity cannot be stabilized by Pyragas time-delayed feedback, does not hold.

We analyse the stability regions of our model in the parameters space and investigate the mechanism of stabilization.
