Controlling dynamical systems using multiple delay feedback control

Multiple delay feedback control (MDFC) with two, three, or four different and independent delay times is used to stabilize steady states of various chaotic dynamical systems. A comparison with delayed feedback control methods that are based on a single (fundamental) delay time [Pyragas' time delay auto synchronization (TDAS) and extended TDAS] shows that MDFC is more effective for fixed point stabilization in terms of stability and flexibility, in particular for large delay times.
