Abstract

Internal fluctuations in far-from-equilibrium, spatially-distributed, reacting systems are studied using Markov chain models. The coarse-grained dynamics is assumed to take place at the nodes of a lattice at discrete time intervals. Diffusion is modeled as a collection of random walkers on the lattice and reactions are treated as a birth-death stochastic process. Using synchronous updating rules, the models are implemented as reactive lattice-gas automata. Results are presented for the effects of fluctuations on limit cycle and chaotic dynamics.
