Reconstruction of time-delay systems using small impulsive disturbances.
We propose a method for the reconstruction of time-delayed feedback systems from time series. The method is based on the analysis of the system response to a weak external disturbance having the form of rectangular pulses. To apply the method one must have access to the state variable of the system in order to perturb it and the time series of the driving signal and the system response having at least about one hundred points on the time interval equal to the delay time. The method is intended to recover delays in low-order time-delay systems performing periodic oscillations, but can also be applied to systems in chaotic regimes in the presence of high level of noise. We verify the method by applying it to both numerical and experimental data.
