Abstract
The effects of global coupling through the gas phase in oscillatory su rface chemical reactions are investigated using a model which represen ts the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation with an additional integral te rm. Depending on the parameters of the model, global coupling is found to have either a synchronizing or desynchronizing effect. Respectivel y, the breakdown of global coupling requires the presence of strong su percritical inhomogeneities or spontaneously occurs in a uniform syste m.
