An uncommon form of multistationarity in a realistic kinetic model

摘要

The stationary behaviour of a kinetic model close to that describing the real nitric acid-hydroxylamine reaction is studied under conditions of a continuously fed stirred tank reactor (c.s.t.r.). It is shown that this system has an interesting mathematical property - three positive stationary states in an unbounded region of the feed concentration. Two of these states are always locally asymptotically stable to perturbation while one is always unstable.
