for describing the oscillations in the concentration of Ce ions was proposed by Françoise Argoul (University of Bordeaux) and co-workers. [1] A numerical integration of this model (Fig. 1b) produces a chaotic attractor whose template contains the three branches which were identified in the experimental data. [2] This model also captures the main characteristics of the experimental dynamics. When the parameter mu is varied, there is a period-doubling cascade leading to chaos. A unimodal chaotic attractor is shown in Fig. 1a : its shape has some similarities with the attractor observed by Harry Swinney and his colleagues [3] and topologically characterized by Gabriel Mindlin and Robert Gilmore [4]. The other parameter values are
