Nonlinear Oscillations and Multiscale Dynamics in a Closed Chemical Reaction System

We investigate the oscillatory chemical dynamics in a closed isothermal reaction system described by the reversible Lotka–Volterra model. This is a three-dimensional, dissipative, singular perturbation to the conservative Lotka–Volterra model, with the free energy serving as a global Lyapunov function. We will show that there is a natural distinction between oscillatory and non-oscillatory regions in the phase space, that is, while orbits ultimately reach the equilibrium in a non-oscillatory fashion, they exhibit damped, oscillatory behaviors as interesting transient dynamics.
