The Behavior of a Multistable Chemical System Near the Critical Point

  • Conference paper

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

Abstract

The bistability of the cerium-bromate-bromide system in an open flow (CSTR) system was investigated near the critical point where the bistability disappears. The critical point is approached via a “cusp” catastrophe. The behaviour of the Jacobian in this region is discussed. Due to the appearance of complex eigenvalues, certain SS became unstable without changing the regularity of the Jacobian matrix. Beyond the critical point a region with only one unstable SS was found. In this small region, oscillations occur around the SS.
