“…Moreover, one finds a low-period limit below which no stable wave trains exist. Exceptions to this normal scenario are found in the catalytic reduction of NO with CO on Pt100 surfaces [4], the 1,4cyclohexanedione Belousov-Zhabotinsky (CHD-BZ) reaction [5,6], in neuronal tissue [7], and perhaps in other biological systems [8]. In these cases, the dispersion relation shows nonmonotonic behavior, but nonetheless extends to infinitely large periods.…”
