ODE model of autocatalytic reaction
The Oregonator is a theoretical model for a type of autocatalytic reaction .
The Oregonator is the simplest realistic model of the chemical dynamics of the oscillatory Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction .[ 1]
It was created by Richard Field and Richard M. Noyes at the University of Oregon .[ 2] It is a portmanteau of Oregon and oscillator .
Earlier, the Brusselator model was proposed by Ilya Prigogine and his collaborators at the Free University of Brussels [ 3]
as a portmanteau of Brussels and oscillator .
The Oregonator is a reduced model of the FKN mechanism (developed by Richard Field, Endre Kőrös , and Richard M. Noyes ) which still involved 11 reactions and 12 species (21 intermediate species and 18 elementary steps). The Oregonator is characterized by the reactions[ note 1]
