We consider networks of delay-coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators. In these
systems, the coupling phase has been found to be a crucial control parameter.
By proper choice of this parameter one can switch between different synchronous
oscillatory states of the network. Applying the speed-gradient method, we
derive an adaptive algorithm for an automatic adjustment of the coupling phase
such that a desired state can be selected from an otherwise multistable regime.
We propose goal functions based on both the difference of the oscillators and a
generalized order parameter and demonstrate that the speed-gradient method
allows one to find appropriate coupling phases with which different states of
synchronization, e.g., in-phase oscillation, splay or various cluster states,
can be selected.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
