A method of operating an dedicated exhaust gas recirculation engine including a water gas shift catalyst by supplying ambient air and fuel to a dedicated cylinder at a first fuel to air equivalence ratio in the range of greater than 1.0 to 1.6 for a first number of engine cycles and, for a second number of engine cycles, supplying ambient air and fuel to the dedicated cylinder at a second fuel to air equivalence ratio in the range of 0.7 to less than 1.0. During the second number of cycles, spark timing of the dedicated cylinder is adjusted and a time delay when exhaust recirculated from the dedicated cylinder will be inducted into the cylinders is determined. At the end of the time delay, a second spark timing of the main cylinder is adjusted and the amount of fuel supplied to the main cylinders is increased.

1. A method of operating a dedicated exhaust gas recirculation engine including a water gas shift catalyst located in a flow path of an exhaust gas recirculation flow path, comprising: supplying air to a main cylinder and a dedicated cylinder, wherein said air includes ambient air;supplying exhaust recirculated from said dedicated cylinder into said main cylinder with said air;supplying fuel to said main cylinder and said dedicated cylinder;combusting said air and fuel in said main cylinder and said dedicated cylinder;recirculating exhaust from said dedicated cylinder to said main cylinder;wherein for a first number of engine cycles said air and said fuel are supplied to said dedicated cylinder at a first fuel to air equivalence ratio in the range of greater than 1.0 to 1.6 and for a second number of engine cycles said air and fuel are supplied to said dedicated cylinder at a second fuel to air equivalence ratio in the range of 0.7 to less than 1.0;adjusting a first spark timing of said dedicated cylinder during said second number of cycles at said second fuel to air equivalence ratio;determining a time delay when exhaust recirculated from said dedicated cylinder will be inducted into said main cylinder;at the end of said time delay adjusting a second spark timing of said main cylinder and adjusting an amount of said fuel supplied to said main cylinder by increasing said amount. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said first spark timing is advanced. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising supplying said exhaust recirculated from said dedicated cylinder into said dedicated cylinder with said air, recirculating said exhaust from said dedicated cylinder to said dedicated cylinder, and adjusting a third spark timing of said dedicated cylinder at the end of said time delay. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said second spark timing and said third spark timing are independently adjusted. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said second and third spark timing are delayed. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said first number of engine cycles is in the range of 7 to 9 cycles. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said second number of cycles is one cycle. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said fuel is supplied into an air intake manifold with said air or into said main cylinder and said dedicated cylinder. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said fuel is fumigated. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said ambient air is compressed prior to mixing with said exhaust. 11. A system for the operation of a dedicated exhaust gas recirculation engine including a water gas shift catalyst located in an exhaust gas recirculation flow path, comprising: an air inlet flow path coupled to through an air intake manifold to a main cylinder and said air inlet flow path is coupled to a dedicated cylinder, wherein each of said main cylinder and said dedicated cylinder comprises an intake valve, an exhaust valve and a spark plug;a first fuel injector associated with said main cylinder and a second fuel injector associated with said dedicated cylinder;an exhaust gas recirculation flow path coupled to said exhaust valve of said dedicated cylinder and to said air intake manifold;a water gas shift catalyst located in said exhaust gas recirculation flow path;a plurality of sensors, including at least one sensor operatively coupled to said air inlet flow path, at least one sensor operatively coupled to said air intake manifold, and at least one sensor operatively coupled to said exhaust gas recirculation flow path; andan electronic control unit operatively coupled to said plurality of sensors, said fuel injectors, said intake valves and said exhaust valves, wherein said electronic control unit is configured to a) adjust a first fuel to air equivalence ratio in said dedicated cylinder in the range of greater than 1.0 to 1.6 for a first number of engine cycles; b) adjust a second fuel to air equivalence ratio in said dedicated cylinder in the range of 0.7 to less than 1.0 for a second number of engine cycles which are alternated with said first number of cycles; c) adjust a first spark timing of said spark plug in said dedicated cylinder during said second number of cycles; d) determine a time delay when exhaust recirculated from said dedicated cylinder will be inducted into said main cylinder; and e) at the end of said time delay adjust a second spark timing of said spark plug in said main cylinder and adjust an amount of fuel supplied to said main cylinder by said fuel injector associated with said main cylinder. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein said first spark timing is advanced. 13. The system of claim 11, wherein said dedicated cylinder is coupled to said air inlet flow path through said air intake manifold, and said method further comprises adjusting a third spark timing of said dedicated cylinder at the end of said time delay. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein said second spark timing and said third spark timing are independently adjusted. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein said second and third spark timing are delayed. 16. The system of claim 11, wherein said first number of engine cycles is in the range of 7 to 9 cycles. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein said second number of engine cycles is one cycle. 18. The system of claim 11, wherein said first fuel injector is configured to supply fuel into said air intake manifold or into said main cylinder. 19. The system of claim 11, wherein said air inlet flow path includes a compressor.
