Abstract

In recent decades, studies on delayed system dynamics have attracted increasing attention and advances have been achieved in stability, nonlinearity, delay identification, delay elimination and application. However, most of the existing work is on the theoretical basis and little is on the experiment. This paper presents our experimental studies on delayed feedback control conducted in recent years with the focus on the discussion of a DSP-based delayed experiment system. Some phenomena in our delay experiments are discussed and a few topics of interest for further research are brought forward.
