Abstract
We build an evolution equation to describe the changes in burning velocity of a nonadiabatic plane flame when a pulsating instability appears in near-limit conditions. Non-linear oscillations are obtained,and are found to correspond to a subcritical bifurcation to an unstable limit cycle.Accordingly,owing to the instability,quenching occurs for weaker heat losses than for steady flames,abruptly.
