Dynamics of a Discrete Brusselator Model: Escape to Infinity and Julia Set

摘要

We consider a discrete version of the Brusselator Model of the famous Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in chemistry. The original model is a reaction-diffusion equation and its discrete version is a coupled map lattice. We study the dynamics of the local map, which is a smooth map of the plane. We discuss the set of trajectories that escape to infinity as well as analyze the set of bounded trajectories-the Julia set of the system.
