The mechanism of bursting phenomena in Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) chemical reaction with multiple time scales (Q987291)

The dynamics of a Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with multiple time scales is numerically investigated. Different forms of periodic bursting phenomena, and specially, three types of chaotic bursters with different structures can be obtained, which are in common with the behaviors observed in experiments. The bifurcations connecting the quiescent state and the repetitive spikes are presented to account for the occurrence of the \(N ^{K }\) oscillations as well as the different forms of chaotic bursters. The mechanism of the period-adding bifurcation sequences is explored to reveal why the length of the periods in the sequences does not change continuously with the continuous variation of the parameters.
