Abstract
We prove that time-periodic solutions arise via Hopf bifurcation in a finite closed system of coagulation-fragmentation equations. The system we treat is a variant of the Becker–Döring equations, in which clusters grow or shrink by addition or deletion of monomers. To this is added a linear atomization reaction for clusters of maximum size. The structure of the system is motivated by models of gas evolution oscillators in physical chemistry, which exhibit temporal oscillations under certain input/output conditions.
