Four Types of Chaotic Dynamics

Four Types of Chaotic Dynamics
in Cellular Flames

Acknowledgments

This research was supported by a grant, N00014-K-0613, from the Office of Naval Research. We are grateful to Emily Stone for pointing out that the intermittently ordered states were examples of heteroclinic connections. We thank Basil Nicolenko for discussing his results. We acknowledge useful conversations with Bernard Matkowsky, Alvin Bayliss, Hermann Riecke, Dieter Armbruster, Stephen Margolis, and Gregory Sivashinsky. Manickam Neelakandan prepared the figures for this manuscript.
