Nonlinear Phenomena in Chemical Dynamics

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 12))

Abstract

The thinking possibility of ‘turbulent’ behavior in chemically reacting systems was first seen by Ruelle and Takens [1] and Nicolis and Prigogine [2]. A few years later, when the Lorenz equation [3] was beginning to be appreciated as a concrete chaos-producing 3-variable ordinary differential equation, similarly behaving abstract reaction systems (belonging actually to a somewhat different, easier to analyze, type of equations; Rössler [4]) were soon seen and followed by experimental demonstrations; see Hudson and Mankin [5] and Pacault et al. [6] for reviews.
