Abstract
We analyze the onset of local oscillations in a class of cellular auto mata introduced by Vieira and Bisch (1993). They consist in one autoca talytic reaction and a ring of spontaneously decaying processes. We ex plain, in the context of recent studies on synchronization of generali zed Forest-Fire models, why a minimum number of chemical species is ne eded for oscillations to take place. Numerical simulations confirm our analysis.
