Abstract
We investigate a discrete counterpart of planar dynamical system of nonlinear differential equations induced by kinetic differential equations for a two-species chemical reaction. Chemical reactions exhibit a wide range of dynamical behavior. We show
how the theoretical analysis provides insight into the potential behavior of chemical reaction systems, determining the areas of parametric space which indicate scenarios for local stability, then for one type of bifurcation co-dimension
one and one type of bifurcation co-dimension two. Precisely, we prove the existence of period-doubling bifurcation and 1:2 resonance bifurcation also, by using the center manifold theorem and the technique of normal forms. All mathematical
investigations are illustrated with numerical examples, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents and phase portraits.
