Chemical instabilities and sustained oscillations. (English) Zbl 1170.92344

Summary: The temporal behaviour of a chemical system beyond a non-equilibrium unstable transition is analysed and compared to the behaviour of Volterra-Lotka type systems. The properties of certain types of biological rythmic phenomena are discussed within the framework of this comparison.
