Abstract

The present paper dealing with the nonlinear bifurcation analysis of two-species oscillatory system consists of three parts. The first part deals with Hopf-bifurcation and limit cycle analysis of the homogeneous system. The second consists of travelling wave train solution and its linear stability analysis of the system in presence of diffusion. The last deals with an oscillatory chemical system as an illustrative example.
