Simulation of Chemical Oscillator Network

This work proposes a study of a small-scale chemical oscillator network based on the Brusselator equation. We investigate how coupling function and topology affect the network time-domain evolution and possibility of using the network for computations. The results of the study show practical prospects of using the Brusselator network for signal classification.

I. Introduction

Nowadays, using non-conventional computational elements for building artificial neural networks is a popular idea that is aimed at overcoming the limitations of traditional computer architecture. Non-conventional examples include a superconductive scheme based on Josephson junction [1], CMOS spiking circuit [2], memristor-based circuit [3], or the discrete Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model [4].
