The complex Ginzburg-Landau equation(CGLE)has been used to describe the travelling wave behaviour in reaction-diffusion (RD) systems. We argue that this description is valid only when the RD system is close to the Hopf bifurcation,and is not valid when a RD system is away from the onset.To test this,we study spirals and anti-spirals in the chlorite-iodide-malonic acid (CIMA) reaction and the corresponding CGLE.Numerical simulations confirm that the CGLE can only be applied to the CIMA reaction when it is very near the Hopf onset.
