While 150-term quadruple-precision expansions yield 30-digit Hartree–Fock energies for atoms up to the third period, heavier atoms require larger expansions, placing the computational bottleneck on two-electron integral evaluation. The algebraic framework developed by Zamastil et al. [18] for Coulomb Sturmians and the su(1,1)-based recurrence formalism for Lambda functions of McCoy and Caprio [26] were extended to formulate two-electron integrals over Lambda functions and to implement a quadruple-precision computer program. However, when the number of expansion terms exceeds 100, deterioration in numerical accuracy became significant. This problem was overcome by substituting multiple-precision arithmetic for quadruple-precision arithmetic in the numerically unstable step. The revised implementation achieves a significant speedup over our previous Gauss–Laguerre quadrature-based program and has enabled a 250-term Hartree–Fock calculation for radon with 25-digit accuracy. The theoretical derivation and computational results are presented.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture><span>The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI.</span></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Chemistry","volume":"64 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148281610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the proficient management of chaotic regimes and a comprehensive understanding of dynamic transitions in models featuring autocatalysis and saturation terms remain significant challenges. This study investigated the nonlinear behavior of a three-dimensional chemical model, aiming to identify chaotic regimes and apply an effective control strategy for their suppression. The dynamics of this model, which describes the temporal evolution of three intermediate species coupled by autocatalysis and Michaelis–Menten type saturation terms, were qualitatively analyzed through bifurcation diagrams and quantitatively by Lyapunov exponents. Pyragas’ Time-Delayed Auto-Synchronization (TDAS) method was non-invasively applied to stabilize unstable periodic orbits. The results revealed a classical route to chaos via period-doubling bifurcations and exhibited extreme sensitivity to initial conditions. Simulations confirmed the effectiveness of TDAS in regularizing the system’s dynamics, successfully stabilizing unstable periodic orbits, and rendering the behavior predictable without altering the intrinsic structure of the system. This study enhances the design and operation of industrial processes, as the identification of chaotic regimes and their transition routes allows for avoiding undesirable operating conditions and maintaining stable oscillatory regimes, thereby increasing safety, reproducibility, and efficiency. The findings are relevant for nonlinear chemical and biochemical reactions in continuous reactors and complex catalytic systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":648,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mathematical Chemistry","volume":"64 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10910-026-01797-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148173469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
