Screenshot Application of the arc length continuation method in nonlinear chemical dynamics 1.0

In the program, an example from the field of nonlinear chemical dynamics is presented. Governing equation and reaction scheme can be found in G. Nicolis, Dynamique Chimique, Thermodynamique, cindoTetique et mdoTecanique statistique, Dunod, Paris 2005. We use the arc length continuation method to get the steady states for a fixed value of lamda=1. We get the famous S-shaped curve. Then, we look for the steady states for a fixed value of mu=0.2. We get two disjoint braches (one branch has a turning point and gives two steady states). The author would like to acknowledge the help of Professor Brian Higgins, Chemical Engineering Department, U. C. Davis who kindly provided Mathematica notebooks on continuation methods. For a similar treatment using Mathematica, please vitsit:http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/MathSource/6572/ .
