Abstract: | The law of mass-action led chemists to the belief that reactions approach equilibrium steadily. So the discovery of chemical
oscillations came as a surprise. Now chemists are very familiar with reactions that oscillate in time and/or space. Experimental
and theoretical studies of such reactions showing temporal and spatial oscillations attract the interest of many laboratories
world-wide. The Lotka-Volterra model is the simplest mathematical model which exhibits such oscillations. In this article,
we use this model to illustrate chemical oscillations with the help of a computer program. |
