The existence of positive solutions to the system of ordinary differential equations related to the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction is established. The key idea is to use a new successive approximation of solutions, ensuring its positivity. To obtain the positivity and invariant region for numerical solutions, the system is discretized as difference equations of explicit form, employing operator splitting methods with linear stability conditions. Algorithm to solve the alternate solution is given.
