Abstract In this paper we stabilize the linear Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation by means of a delayed boundary control. From the spectral decomposition of the spatial operator associated to the equation, we find that there is a finite number of unstable eigenvalues. After applying the Artstein transform to deal with the delay phenomenon, we design a feedback law based on the pole-shifting theorem to exponential stabilize the finite-dimensional system associated to the unstable eigenvalues. Then, thanks to the use of a Lyapunov function, we prove that the same feedback law exponential stabilize the original unstable infinite-dimensional system.
