Abstract: We present a technique to engineer solitary states by means of delayed links in a network of neural oscillators and in coupled chaotic maps. Solitary states are intriguing partial synchronization patterns, where a synchronized cluster coexists with solitary nodes displaced from this cluster and distributed randomly over the network. We induce solitary states in the originally synchronized network of identical nodes by introducing delays in the links for a certain number of selected network elements. It is shown that the extent of displacement and the position of solitary elements can be completely controlled by the choice (values) and positions (locations) of the incorporated delays, reshaping the delay engineered solitary states in the network.
