Nonlinear Dynamics in a Chemical Reaction under an Amplitude-Modulated Excitation: Hysteresis, Vibrational Resonance, Multistability, and Chaos

摘要

This paper deals with the effects of an amplitude-modulated (AM) excitation on the nonlinear dynamics of reactions between four molecules. The computation of the ?xed points of the autonomous nonlinear chemical system has been made in detail using the Cardan’s method. Hopf bifurcation has been also successfully checked. Routes to chaos have been investigated through bifurcations structures, Lyapunov exponent, phase portraits, and Poincaré section. The effects of the control force on chaotic motions have been strongly analyzed, and the control efficiency is found in the cases g=0?(unmodulated case) and g≠0 with Ω=ω and Ω/w≠p/q; p and q are simple positive integers. Vibrational resonance (VR), hysteresis, and coexistence of several attractors have been studied in detail based on the relationship between the frequencies of the AM force. Results of analytical investigations are validated and complemented by numerical simulations.
