MULTIPLICITY OF STATIONARY PATTERNS IN AN ARRAY OF CHEMICAL OSCILLATORS

The array of 100 cells of coupled Brusselators is studied numerically. A variety of stationary patterns are obtained by applying different i nitial perturbations. The number of stationary patterns in an array of ''n'' oscillators is equal to F-n+1 where F is a Fibonacci number. Pa tterns may be ordered into series using positions of initial perturbat ions or the amplitude of perturbations as ordering parameters. Concent rations of chemical species in developed patterns as a function of the perturbation form a staircase diagram.
