  We present a delayed feedback control (DFC) mechanism for stabilizing cycles
of one dimensional discrete time systems. In particular, we consider a delayed
feedback control for stabilizing $T$-cycles of a differentiable function $f:
\mathbb{R}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ of the form $$x(k+1) = f(x(k)) + u(k)$$ where
$$u(k) = (a_1 - 1)f(x(k)) + a_2 f(x(k-T)) + ... + a_N f(x(k-(N-1)T))\;,$$ with
$a_1 + ... + a_N = 1$. Following an approach of Morg\"ul, we construct a map
$F: \mathbb{R}^{T+1} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{T+1}$ whose fixed points
correspond to $T$-cycles of $f$. We then analyze the local stability of the
above DFC mechanism by evaluating the stability of the corresponding equilibrum
points of $F$. We associate to each periodic orbit of $f$ an explicit
polynomial whose Schur stability corresponds to the stability of the DFC on
that orbit. An example indicating the efficacy of this method is provided.
