Abstract
The qualitative properties of chemical systems with localized (heterogeneous) catalysts can depend on the relative locations of the catalysts. By considering some simple chemical systems with two catalytic sites it is shown that the number and the stability of steady states and cycles changes with intercatalytic separation. These examples indicate that geometrical considerations must be explicitly considered when analyzing the dynamics of highly structured (e.g., biological) systems.
