Abstract
A model of an autocatalytic chemical reaction was employed to study the explosion of limit cycles and chaotic waves in a nonlinear chemical system. The bifurcation point was determined using asymptotic analysis and perturbations. Scaling laws for amplitude and period were derived. A strong sensitivity was introduced due to bifurcation to infinity resulting in chaotic dynamics on adding diffusion.
