Non-linearity

Chemical kinetics

The laws of chemical kinetics can be written in the form of differential equations. In the case of complex reactions involving several molecules, equations are non-linear. We study the Brusselator model involving 3 substances. The chemical reactions can be translated to differential equation such as:

X' = 1 - (Z+1)X + X^2 Y \\ Y' = XZ-X^2 Y\\ Z' = -XZ + v

Where represents the speed of the reaction

Question

Solve numerically the system for different values of : 0.9, 1.3, 1.52

Hint

For the resolution you can use: Python: Odeint function from scipy module. Or Matlab: ode45
