11. We have noted that chaotic behaviour can arise only for systems governed by non-linear equations. 12. Then chaotic behaviour recurs, with the phase space trajectories being initially confined to bands and subsequently filling a whole region. 13. However, there are also quite different ways in which flows exhibit chaotic behaviour -- with the connection to the general theory of chaos being perhaps more definitely established. 14. Secondly the standard routes to chaos imply the existence of a well-defined onset of chaotic behaviour. 15. The existence of expanding and contracting directions is an essential prerequisite for chaotic behaviour in dissipative systems of this sort. |
