Pattern Formation in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction with Photochemical Global Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have found a variety of oscillating patterns in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction-diffusion system with global negative feedback. Bulk oscillations and wave patterns arise at low values of the feedback strength. When the feedback exceeds a critical value, cluster patterns arise. Besides the standing, irregular, and localized clusters observed earlier, we have found new types of clusters: three-phase, localized irregular, and localized oscillatory clusters. A model of three identical Oregonators with global negative coupling yields the same bifurcation scenario as found in our experiments.

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 کاملCanard phenomenon and localization of oscillations in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction with global feedback
The occurrence of spatial domains of large amplitude oscillation on a background of small amplitude oscillation in a reaction–diffusion system is called localization. We study, analytically and numerically, the mechanism of localization in a model of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction subject to global feedback. This behavior is found to arise from the canard phenomenon, in which a limit cycle s...

Elementary model of intracellular (or intra-organellar) pattern formation: Belousov – Zhabotinsky reaction in a Petri dish. The Belousov – Zhabotinsky reaction (Belousov 1958) was devised as a primitive model of citric acid cycle. To the surprise of the authors, it brought about the phenomenon of chemical clock (in mixed systems) or spontaneous pattern formation (in still compartments). We use ...
