The influence of a global delayed feedback control which acts on a system governed by asubcritical complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is considered. The method based on avariational principle is applied for the derivation of low-dimensional evolution models.In the framework of those models, one-pulse and two-pulse solutions are found, and theirlinear stability analysis is carried out. The application of the finite-dimensional modelallows to reveal the existence of chaotic oscillatory regimes and regimes withdouble-period and quadruple-period oscillations. The diagram of regimes resembles thosefound in the damped-driven nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The obtained results arecompared with the results of direct numerical simulations of the original problem.
