Summary
An iterative method for solving
periodical boundary-value problem (BVP) for autonomous ordinary
differential equations (ODEs) is applied to calculations of periodic
orbits and their stability in a three-dimensional kinetic model of
catalytic hydrogen oxidation.
According to the method, the periodic orbit is
decomposed into pieces by local cross-sections $\{\pi_i\}$ and
between $\pi_i$ and $\pi_{i+1}$ the integration of the system is to
be accomplished. Hence we obtain an $\alpha$-pseudo-orbit and then
construct the generalized Poincare map. Thus the BVP for ODEs is
reduced to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations that takes into
account both the boundary conditions of periodicity and condition of
the solution continuity at boundary points of pieces. Being
linearized, the algebraic system has a band structure and for
solving such a system the orthogonal sweep method is extremely
effective.
In the
model considered we find numerically periodic orbits of rather
complex structure, give an example of weakly stable dynamics, and
show the role of successive period doubling bifurcations in the
creation of weakly stable dynamics.
