Abstract
The number of fundamentally different known homogeneous isothermal chemical oscillating reactions is very small. In spite of intensive efforts in the last two decades to design new oscillators, only two nonbiological systems, both discovered by accident, have been well characterized: the Bray-Liebhasky [1] (B-L) and the Belousov-Zhabotinsky [2] (B-Z) reactions. The array of known oscillators has been augumented essentially by variation [3], and hybrids [4] of the above two reactions. The ability of chemists to test and develop general theories of chemical dissipative structures [5] has been somewhat hindered by this paucity of examples. Since no set of sufficient conditions to generate nonlinear oscillators is known, any practical method that can be used as a guideline in the discovery of new oscillators should be of considerable interest. We have recently presented such a systematic approach [6] and have successfully applied it to reveal a new family of chemical oscillators [7].
