Abstract

During the last years, we have developed a simple theory which shows that many chemical oscillations can be described by the association of a bistable system and a feedback with suitable time scale ratios.The cross shaped topology of the phase diagram is very characteristic and furnishes a very convenient experimental tool to discuss the mechanism of a reaction [1] and a practical guide to create new oscillating systems [2]. The theoretical and experimental application to the BZ case, presented on the poster, is extensively expounded in Ref.1.
