Correlation theory of delayed feedback in stochastic systems below Andronov-Hopf bifurcation.
Here we address the effect of large delay on the statistical characteristics of noise-induced oscillations in a nonlinear system below Andronov-Hopf bifurcation. In particular, we introduce a theory of these oscillations that does not involve the eigenmode expansion, and can therefore be used for arbitrary delay time. In particular, we show that the correlation matrix (CM) oscillates on two different time scales: on the scale of the main period of noise-induced oscillations, and on the scale close to the delay time. At large values of the delay time, the CM is shown to decay exponentially only for large values of its argument, while for the arguments comparable with the value of the delay, the CM remains finite disregarding the delay time. The definition of the correlation time of the system with delay is discussed.
