Complutense de Madrid, Spain) Juan Francisco Padial (Univ. Politecnica de Madrid, Spain) Jose Ignacio Tello (Univ. Nacional de Educacion a Distancia, Madrid, Spain) Lourdes Tello (Univ. Politecnica de Madrid, Spain) Abstract: We consider an initial boundary value problem of the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with some delayed feedback terms proposed for the control of chemical turbulence in reaction diffusion systems. We consider the equation in a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$ ($N\leq3$), $$ \frac{\partial u}{\partial t}-(1+i\epsilon)\Delta u +(1+i\beta) | u| ^2u-(1-i\omega) u=F(u(x,t-\tau)) $$ for t>0, with $$ F(u(x,t-\tau)) =e^{i\chi_0}\big\{ \frac{\mu}{| \Omega| }\int_{\Omega}u(x,t-\tau) dx+\nu u(x,t-\tau) \big\} , $$ where $\mu$, $\nu\geq0$, $\tau>0$ but the rest of real parameters $\epsilon$, $\beta$, $\omega$ and $\chi_0$ do not have a prescribed sign. We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of problem for a range of initial data and parameters. When $\nu=0$ and $\mu>0$ we prove that only the initial history of the integral on $\Omega$ of the unknown on $(-\tau,0)$ and a standard initial condition at t=0 are required to determine univocally the existence of a solution. We prove several qualitative properties of solutions, such as the finite extinction time (or the zero exact controllability) and the finite speed of propagation, when the term $|u| ^2u$ is replaced by $|u| ^{m-1}u$, for some $m\in(0,1)$. We extend to the delayed case some previous results in the literature of complex equations without any delay. Submitted March 31, 2020. Published April 30, 2020.
