Characteristics of Oscillatory Systems

Oscillations are special solutions of a dynamic system. These solutions may not only exist but also exhibit certain characteristics which would differentiate them from 

Another element contributing to the existence and types of oscillatory solutions is the nonlinearity of the system. A classification of known chemical models based on their nonlinearities is given below. It is shown that various models discussed in the literature by different investigators may be grouped in special classes.
