Abstract: | A simple mathematical model involving two first-order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with fourth-degree polynomial nonlinearities is introduced. The initial-value problem for this system of two ODEs is solved in terms of elementary functions: for an open set of initial data, this solution is isochronous, i.e., completely periodic with a fixed period (independent of the initial data); in the complementary set of initial data, it blows up at a finite time. This system is likely to be of applicative interest: for instance it models the time evolution of two chemical substances in a spatially homogeneous situation, provided this evolution is characterized by six appropriate chemical reactions whose rates are simply expressed in terms of three a priori arbitrary parameters, or alternatively by five appropriate reactions whose rates are simply expressed in terms of two a priori arbitrary parameters. |
