Bifurcation problems with slowly varying control parameters are of interest in several research areas, including catalyst deactivation, combustion, and lasers and other nonlinear optical devices. Significant theoretical work has been devoted to the study of these dynamic phenomena, but very little directly relevant experimental information is currently available. Results are presented here from an experimental study of the dynamic behavior of a catalytic reaction system due to a deliberately slowly varied control parameter. Attention is focused on the dynamics due to slow passage through simple limit and Hopf points.
