New evidence of transient complex oscillations in a closed, well-stirred Belousov-Zhabotinsky system

Abstract

Some new experimental evidence of complex irregular oscillations in the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction realized in a batch reactor is presented. The results were obtained under relatively low cerium and malonic acid concentrations. One-dimensionalmaps were used for general discussion, and, particularly, for the influence of noise on the evolution of the oscillations.
