Abstract
Evolutionary Network Control (ENC) was introduced in 2011 to permit the control of any kind of ecological and biological networks, with an arbitrary number of nodes and links. To date, ENC has been applied with the idea to control biological and ecological networks since the beginning of their system dynamics. This approach has shown to be effective in the control of both continuous-time and discrete-time networks. However a delayed control, where network dynamics are controlled only from a certain point on, could be more economic from a computational viewpoint, and also more feasible from an applicative perspective. For this reason, ENC is further upgraded here to realize the delayed control of ecological and biological nets.
