Scheme:
MA + I2 --> IMA + I- + H+
ClO2 + I- --> ClO2- + ½I2
ClO2- + 4I- + 4H+ --> Cl- + 2I2 + 2H2O
S + I2 + I- <--> SI-3

Rates:
5-variable model:
Reduced to 2-v model:
Example:

The model has two bifurcations:
1. Turing bif.

2. Hopf bif.


Codimension 2 points.

(7.2397620431475, 0.01781410114423)


This model is monostable and non-excitable.

  1. Developing of Turing patterns from random initial conditions.
  2. We had used a coupled LE model to produce Symmetric, asymmetric and antiphase Turing patterns.
  3. a two-layer system
