Abstract: We study scalar delay equations dot{x} (t) = lambda f(x(t-1)) + b^{-1} (x(t) + x(t -p/2)) with odd nonlinearity f, real nonzero parameters lambda,,b, and two positive time delays 1,p/2. We assume supercritical Hopf~bifurcation from xequiv0 in the well-understood single-delay case b=infty. Normalizing f(0)=1, branches of constant minimal period pk=2pi/omegak are known to bifurcate from eigenvalues iomegak=i(k+frac12)pi at lambdak=(1)k+1omegak, for any nonnegative integer k. The unstable dimension of these rapidly oscillating periodic solutions is k, at the local branch k. We obtain stabilization of such branches, for arbitrarily large unstable dimension k, and for, necessarily, delicately narrow regions of control amplitudes b<0. For p:= pk the branch k of constant period pk persists as a solution, for any beq0. Indeed the delayed feedback term controlled by b vanishes on branch k: the feedback control is noninvasive there. Following an idea of Pyragas (1992), we seek parameter regions mathcalP=(underlinebk,overlinebk) of controls beq0 such that the branch k becomes stable, locally at Hopf~bifurcation. We determine rigorous expansions for mathcalP in the limit of large k. Our analysis is based on a 2-scale covering lift for the slow and rapid frequencies involved. These results complement earlier results by Fiedler and Oliva (2016) which required control terms b^{-1} (x(t-vartheta) + x(t-vartheta -p/2)) with a third delay vartheta near 1.
