The derivative function of the non-dimensional version of the Lindemann mechanism, an example of a two-dimensional autonomous ODE system.
lindemannMechanism(t, y, parameters)Returns a list containing the values of the two
derivatives at
(t, x, y).
The value of t, the independent
variable, to evaluate the derivative at. Should be a
numeric vector of
length one.
The values of x and
y, the dependent variables, to evaluate
the derivative at. Should be a numeric
vector of length two.
The values of the parameters of the system. Should be a
numeric vector prescribing the value
of α.

lindemannMechanism evaluates the derivative of the following ODE at
the point (t, x, y):
dx/dt = -x2 + αxy, dy/dt = x2 - αxy - y.
Its format is designed to be compatible with ode from
the deSolve package.
