Title of TalkExact Analytical Solutions of a Chemical Oscillator
AbstractA chemical reaction network (CRN) is a mathematical model used extensively in chemistry with deep connections to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). CRNs have been used to model naturally occurring reactions that are periodic such as the Brusselator and the Oreganator. However, the nonlinearity of the underlying ODEs is often complex and a large amount of research has been devoted to approximating the solutions to these ODEs. Recently, Luca Cardelli defined a CRN that has similar desirable periodic behavior. In this talk we present a general analysis of this CRN including exact analytical solutions to the underlying ODEs. This is joint work with James I. Lathrop. This talk will be accessible to both undergraduate and graduate students.
