Abstract:
A method of time-frequency transformations of nonstationary signals has been discussed and applied to the analysis of oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. Selected registers of BZ reactions, that represent regular and complex dynamic behavior, have been submitted to the detailed spectral analysis using the short time Fourier transform (STFT). It has been demonstrated that the STFT is an accurate and suitable method for decomposition of chemical oscillations in the joint time and frequency domain. The energy distribution via STFT, presented in this article, revealed some specific characteristics of transitions between different regimes in the closed system of BZ reaction.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
