Brusselator:
We consider the 1D Brusselator partial differential equation (PDE)[1].
Here we consider a state of the form
where is the spatial location. The PDE is of the form:
with boundary condition:
,
and initial condition with:
, .
We consider: , .
We transform the PDE into a system of ODEs
by spatial discretization using
a grid of points with (See [2]).

We thus consider that we have oscillators
of state
with initial conditions ().
The system of ordinary differential equations for this example is described by:
with and .
Results:
We consider a system with uncertainty , set of initial conditions with , the time-step used in Euler's method is , and we take with as an approximate period.
Using the figures shown below, we check that:
- for
- also for , the minimum (represented by a small cyan ball) of the upper green curve is less than the maximum (represented by a small gray ball)
of the lower green curve
- and .
Then, we can conclude that the system
converges towards an attractive LC
contained in
.
The figures below show respectively the simulation of and with perturbation (w=0.05) over 5 periods (5T=34,3) for dt=0.0002. The red curves represent the Euler approximation, the green curves correspond to the borders of tube .
The black vertical lines delimit the portion of the tube between and . The cyan point represents the minimum of the upper green curve and the gray point shows the maximum of the lower green curve.
