Abstract
The periodic perturbation is imposed on the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction by means of periodically repeated stirring of the reacting mixture. Since the flow of the mixture caused by the stirring includes oxygen gas from the surface, the reaction is modulated by a periodic stirring and an entrained or a nonperiodic oscillation is observed depending on the repetition rate of the stirring. The sample data amplitudes of nonperiodic oscillations are analysed by using the Lorenz plot, and well-defined single-valued transfer functions are obtained which give positive Liapounov numbers and have period three points. We conclude thus that the system exhibits chaotic behavior.
