## Abstract This paper is concerned with some qualitative analysis for a coupled system of five reactionβdiffusion equations which arises from a physiology model. The uniform boundedness of the timeβdependent solution is obtained under various boundary conditions. Sufficient conditions are also giv

β¦ Synopsis
Numerical computations for a one (space) dimensional reaction-diffusion system, exhibiting alternate regimes of periodic-aperiodic behaviour, are reported in this study. The bifurcation analysis reveals the following routes to chaos: (a) stable steady state -+ limit cycle -+ doubly periodic orbit --, strange attractor; (b) stable steady state + limit cycle -period doubling of the limit cycle. The chaos seems to be apparently caused by diffusion. Similar behaviour is also noticed in the transient simulation of a two space dimensional system. BIFURCATION ANALYSIS AND NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS According to Nandapurkar et al. (1984), the eigenvalues of the following matrix indicate the stability of

An exothermic reaction takes place in a continuous stirred reactor, the cooling temperature of which is varied with time. It is shown that with an increase in the amplitude of the forcing that quasiperiodic bebaviour occurs, followed by a sequence of period doubling bifurcations leading to chaos. Fu
Decay of chaotic open stadium billiards is examined numerically. Certain open stadium systems are shown to exhibit other than simple exponential decay (i.e. nonstatistical) behavior. In addition, algebraic long time decay occurs in some cases. Observed decays are modeled with a minimally dynamic hyb
