Abstract

We investigate oscillatory behaviour in the famous Belousov-Zhabotinskii chemical reaction, as described by the simple two-variable Oregonator model. It is shown that oscillations are possible only in certain parameter regions. Numerical results are presented, and the presence of fold bifurcations discussed.
