Abstract
Dynamic behavior of two identical reaction cells with linear symmetric coupling is studied in detail. The standard model reaction scheme “Brusselator” is used as the description of the kinetics. The uncoupled cells can exhibit either a stable stationary state or stable periodic oscillations. A number of stationary and periodic oscillatory patterns arise as a result of the coupling. A non-homogeneous spatio-temporal organization includes homoclinic and heteroclinic oscillations as well as chaotic regimes. Numerical continuation algorithms are used to determine the dependence of stationary and periodic solutions on parameters. Stable stationary nonhomogeneous regimes exist typically at intermediate levels of coupling intensity. The nonhomogeneous periodic solutions arise either via Hopf bifurcatios from stationary solutions or via period-doubling bifurcations from the homogeneous periodic solutions. The results obtained may serve as a standard for the study of the behavior of other coupled systems in which either a stable stationary state or stable oscillations exist in the single cell.
