Course content

Introduction to nonlinear chemical systems characterized by the presence of feedback loops (such as autocatalytic steps or inhibitory processes) in the kinetic scheme. Description and analysis of out of equilibrium dynamics in such nonlinear systems: bistability, excitability, temporal oscillations, chemical waves, stationary patterns, chaos, etc...

Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)

To be able to write down a given reaction-diffusion model for a given kinetic scheme, analyze the related stationary states and their stablity, understand the necessary conditions to obtain temporal oscillations or spatial-temporal dynamics in reaction-diffusion systems.

Teaching methods and learning activities

Teaching in a class room or discussions on the basis of notes depending on the number of students
