title: Experimental strategy for characterization of essential dynamical variables in oscillatory systems: effect of double-layer capacitance on the stability of electrochemical oscillators.
abstract: An experimentally accessible algorithm for changing the time scale associated with a dynamical variable is proposed. In general, a differential controller can be applied to (a) identify the essential species in oscillatory systems and (b) explore their role in the feedback loops. Here, we report on classifying electrochemical oscillators by changing the time scale over which the electrode potential varies; the type of different electrochemical oscillators is identified based on whether the controlled modification of pseudo-capacitance induces or suppresses current oscillations.
