Simulation of the oregonator model by using deterministic ARMS

We propose a deterministic method for simulating chemical reactions, deterministic abstract rewriting system on multisets (DARMS), which is based on the concept of mass action low. The feasibility and utility of DARMS are demonstrated by applying it to the oregonator, which is a well-known model of the Belousov-Zhabotinskii (BZ) reaction.
