Principles of Spatial Pattern Formation

For two systems, the reduction of 820 and the reduction of In + in the presence of SCN at Hg, investigations of the dynamic behaviors of the systems are detailed enough to allow a rough comparison of experimental and predicted bifurcation behavior. Coinciding bifurcation diagrams are a much better indicator of whether a model correctly captures the essential mechanistic steps than a comparison of the dynamic behavior at isolated points in parameter space or of oscillation forms. These systems are set out in more detail below. 

Current oscillations during the reduction of multiply charged anions for which the formation of passivating films could be excluded, such as 

One of the rare experimental examples demonstrating the coexistence of a periodic and a stationary solution is reproduced in Fig. 6. The data were obtained during the reduction of 83 Og at a rotating Pt electrode. Again, the results are in agreement with model calculations

First a prototype model of HNDR oscillators is introduced in which special emphasis is put on the essential mechanistic features of such oscillators. Thereafter, emphasis is transferred to two especially transpar-
