Transitions Induced by the Discreteness of Molecules in a Small Autocatalytic System
Transitions Induced by the Discreteness of Molecules in a Small Autocatalytic System
The autocatalytic reaction system with a small number of molecules is studied numerically by stochastic particle simulations. A novel state due to fluctuation and discreteness in molecular numbers is found, characterized as an extinction of molecule species alternately in the autocatalytic reaction loop. Phase transition to this state with changes …
