@article { , title = {Feedback control of waiting times}, abstract = {Feedback loops are known as a versatile tool for controlling transport in small systems, which usually have large intrinsic fluctuations. Here we investigate the control of a temporal correlation function, the waiting-time distribution, under active and passive feedback conditions. We develop a general formalism and then specify to the simple unidirectional transport model, where we compare costs of open-loop and feedback control and use methods from optimal control theory to optimize waiting-time distributions.}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevE.93.042103}, eissn = {2470-0053}, issn = {2470-0045}, issue = {4}, journal = {Physical Review E}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, url = {https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/898379}, volume = {93}, keyword = {Specialist Research - Other}, year = {2016}, author = {Brandes, Tobias and Emary, Clive} }
