Controlling instability with delayed antagonistic stochastic dynamics

Abstract: Here some ideas related with delayed unstable systems are exposed. In particular, two simple dynamics where antagonistic forces, one of them being a time-delayed and randomly modulated force, are presented as prototypes to study the apparency of a critical balance that is seen as a transient stabilization of the system. This type of dynamics allows for the control of the unstable state overcoming limitations imposed by time latencies.
