The present paper dealing with the nonlinear bifurcation analysis of two-species oscillatory system consists of three parts. The first part deals with Hopf-bifurcation and limit cycle analysis of the homogeneous system. The second consists of travelling wave train solution and its linear stability analysis of the system in presence of diffusion. The last deals with an oscillatory chemical system as an illustrative example.

Imperfect mixing is a concern in industrial processes, everyday processes (mixing paint, bread machines), and in understanding salt water-fresh water mixing in ecosystems. The effects of imperfect mixing become evident in the unstirred ferroin-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, the prototype for chemical pattern formation. Over time, waves of oxidation (high ferriin concentration, blue) propagate into a background of low ferriin concentration (red); their structure reflects in part the history of mixing in the reaction vessel. However, it may be difficult to separate mixing effects from reaction effects. We describe a simpler model system for visualizing density-driven pattern formation in an essentially unmixed chemical system: the reaction of pale yellow Fe3+ with colorless SCN− to form the blood-red Fe(SCN)2+ complex ion in aqueous solution. Careful addition of one drop of Fe(NO3)3 to KSCN yields striped patterns after several minutes. The patterns appear reminiscent of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities and convection rolls, arguing that pattern formation is caused by density-driven mixing.

Trees / bushes like pattern have been investigated in succinic acid + ethylacetoacetate + BrO3−+ Fe (phen)3+2+ Ce+4+ H2SO4system at 30 °C in a petridish after 6 hours. These patterns are dependent on initial concentration of reactants and temperature. The system first shows fast appearing / disappearing blue and red pattern then bifurcate into concentric waves and finally shows a tree / bushes type pattern which grows in length and breadth against time. Microphotographs of trees / bushes pattern, succinic acid and ceric ammonium sulphate shows that a new compound has been formed which is responsible for this pattern. It is further confirmed by X-ray powder spectrum of trees / bushes pattern material and succinic acid. IR spectra of pattern material show that presence of cyclic compound in which Ce+4ion coordinated by hydroxyethylacetoacetate. A tentative mechanism of pattern formation is proposed.

The aim of this paper is to present the synthesis of a robust control law for the control of a class of nonlinear systems named Liouvillian. The control design is based on a sliding-mode uncertainty estimator developed under the framework of algebraic-differential concepts. The estimation convergence is done by the Lyapunov-type analysis and the closed-loop system stability is shown by means of the regulation error dynamics. Robustness of the proposed control scheme is tested in the face of noise output measurements and model uncertainties. The performance of the proposed control law is illustrated with numerical simulations in which a class of oscillatory chemical system is used as application example.
