Features: Over the past 30 years, nonlinear chemical dynamics phenomena such as multiple steady states, oscillations, chaos, and waves in chemical reaction systems have attracted widespread attention from scientists worldwide. Significant research achievements have been made in analyzing the physicochemical mechanisms, methodologies, and techniques underlying these phenomena. The study of chemical oscillations and chaos, in particular, has become a vital branch of chemical dynamics research in the field, with profound theoretical foundations and substantial practical value.
This book primarily introduces the research accomplishments of the authors and their colleagues in this field over the recent years, as well as the development of international research. It covers topics including nonlinear dynamics phenomena, mathematical descriptions and computational methods of chemical dynamics, analysis of dynamic models, and experimental studies. The book aims to provide a systematic reference for researchers, senior undergraduate students, and graduate students engaged in the study of nonequilibrium nonlinear chemical dynamics, enabling a deeper understanding of the domains and mechanisms underlying nonlinear phenomena. The mathematical tools and experimental methods presented in this book can enhance analytical capabilities for nonlinear phenomena and elevate research standards in the field of nonlinear science in China.
