Abstract

We analyze a nonlinear stationary model of reactor dynamics with distributed parameters. We find sufficient conditions for the existence of bifurcation points in this system and study the behavior of solutions in a neighborhood of the bifurcation points. We prove the existence of countably many bifurcation points in the case of a homogeneous medium and obtain constructive estimates for the distance between the bifurcation points.
