Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction
Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction [1] is a chemical reaction, or more precisely a reaction family, known for exhibiting temporal and spatial oscillations.
This reaction is one of the classical examples of the natural non-linear oscillations. Another prominent example is the previously analyzed prey-predator interactions in the ecosystem. Interestingly enough despite being of a very different nature both of these example can be modeled using Lotka-Volterra equations.
In this text we will also consider certai cellular automaton, which replicates the spatial oscillations seen in some of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reactions.
