Pattern Formation in a Simple Chemical System with General Orders of Autocatalysis and Decay. I. Stability Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this preliminary paper we intorduce a mathematical model based on an au-tocatalytic reaction scheme with termination, and general reaction orders. Rigorous stability analysis and numerical solutions are presented which illustrate that the problem can for certain parameter values admit a stable stationary pattern in the concentration of the autocatalyst and reactant. This pattern forms at the rear of permanent form travelling wave or pulse solution.

Complexity in Chemical Systems
The mechanistic origins of complex responses in chemical systems are traced to the role of chemical or thermal feedback arising from autocatalysis or self-heating. These simple building blocks, which occur widely in chemistry and biochemistry, support behavior ranging from simple clock reactions to sustained oscillations, chaos and spatial pattern formation. Examples discussed include the Belou...
متن کاملAutocatalyses
Autocatalysis is a fundamental concept, used in a wide range of domains. From the most general definition of autocatalysis, that is, a process in which a chemical compound is able to catalyze its own formation, several different systems can be described. We detail the different categories of autocatalyses and compare them on the basis of their mechanistic, kinetic, and dynamic properties. It is...

The notion of autocatalysis actually covers a large variety of mechanistic realisations of chemical systems. From the most general definition of autocatalysis, that is a process in which a chemical compound is able to catalyze its own formation, several different systems can be described. We detail the different categories of autocatalyses, and compare them on the basis of their mechanistic, ki...
متن کاملIdentification and Control of MIMO Systems with State Time Delay (Short Communication)
Time-delay identification is one of the most important parameters in designing controllers. In the cases where the number of inputs and outputs in a system are more than one, this identification is of great concern. In this paper, a novel autocorrelation-based scheme for the state variable time-delay identification for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system has been presented. This method is ba...
متن کاملModeling the distribution of deposited energy by alpha particles from Radon 223 decay and its effect on DNA
The ionizing radiations, through physical and chemical processes, lead to simple and complex single- and double- strand breaks, as well as base lesions to the DNA. In this study, taking into account all the physical and chemical processes involved in the interaction of ionizing radiation with matter, the initial damage induced to DNA was evaluated for 5.7 MeV alpha-rays from Radon 223 isotope....
