    then divided into different areas, the basins of attraction,

    eachof which belongs o its correspondingttractor.One

    speaks f coexistingttractors. bviously, ny ypeof attrac-

    tor so far known can coexistwith any other type including

    the same ype. Thus a systemmay have several ixed points

    or severalchaotic attractors and any mixture. An example

    for coexistingimit cycless the resonanceurveof a driven

    nonlinearoscillatorwhere he maximumof a position oor-

    dinate of the limit cycle s plottedversus he frequencyof a

    driver. At higher driving, it attains the appearanceof a

    breakingwave (Fig. 3). Different oscillatorystatesare ob-

    taineddepending n theway thecurve s tracked. his phe-

    nomenon s well known as hysteresis. xamples or coexist-

    ing chaotic attractorsare, for instance, ound in Ref. 22

    where he single-valley uffingoscillator s explored.

    Severalquestions oncerning oexisting ttractorscan

    immediatelybe posed,suchas, e.g., how many attractorsa

    givensystemmay have.This question s usuallynot easily

    answered.t may happen hat a systempossessesnfinitely

    many coexisting ttractors.For driven nonlinearoscillators

    (e.g., hebubble scillator), henumberof coexisting ttrac-

    torsgrows apidlywhen he damping s decreased.

    The basinsof attraction usually do not have a simple

    appearance. ven n the caseof just two coexisting ttrac-

    tors, the boundariesof the two basinsmay be incredibly in-

    tertwined ndevenbecome fractalset.An example f typi-

    cal basinsof attraction s taken from the Duffing equation

    II. BIFURCATIONS

    When doing experiments, t is found that the system

    investigatednormally dependson severalparameters. n a

    typical measurement,usually only one of the parameters

    (pressure, emperature,voltage,current, etc.) is altered to

    learn about the reaction of the system o the alteration. In

    theoretical anguage, ne considers one-parameter amily

    of systems. he question hen is how an attractor or coexist-

    ing attractors alter when a parameter is varied. In chaos

    physics, ucha parameter s calleda controlparameter. ys-

    tems with 'differentvaluesof the control parameter are dif-

    ferent systemsand may have totally dittrent attractors.

    The scenario asedon a sequence f Hopfbifurcations s

    calledquasiperiodicoute o chaos, s a systemwith incom-

    mensuraterequencies ndergoes uasiperiodic scillations

    (Fig. 6). This route s connected ith the namesof Ruelle,

    Takens,and Newhouse.4'2st is a somewhat urprising

    routebecause, tarting rom a fixed point, the three-dimen-

    sional orus generated fter three Hopf bifurcations s not

    stable n the sensehat there existsan arbitrarily small per-

    turbation f thesystemalteration f parameters)orwhich

    the three-torus ivesway o a chaotic ttractor.This route o

    chaoshas been found experimentally n the flow between

    rotatingcylinders Taylor-Couette flow) and in Rayleigh-

    Bnard convectionwhere a liquid layer is heated rom be-

    low. TM

    The route o chaosmediatedby saddle-node r tangent

    bifurcations omesn different ypes,but all with the appear-

    anceof a direct transition rom regular o chaoticmotion.

    The mostprominent ype s called he intermittency oute o

    chaos. This route is connected with the names of Pomeau

    andManneville?:? t onlyneeds single addle-nodeifur-

    cationand s not easilyvisualized n its propertiesn a single

    diagram Fig. 7). It is n a senseeallya route o chaos and

    only short bursts nto irregular motion. The period of the

    comeshorterand shorter,and the intervalsof visiblychaotic

    oscillations arger and larger, until the regular oscillation

    intervalsdisappear. haos s reallydeveloped nly at It val-

    uesat somedistance rom tc. This route has, or instance,

    beenobservedn Rayleigh-Bnardexperiments. esideshe

    intermittencyroute, there is a different ype of transition o

    chaos connected with saddle-node bifurcations. It consists of

    a direct ransition rom a regularattractor (fixedpoint, imit

    cycle) to a coexisting haoticone without the phenomenon

    of intermittencydescribed bove.This type is usuallyen-

    countered n systemswith many coexisting ttractors,as n

    the caseof bubblesn a liquid drivenby a sound ield.

    The route to chaosencounteredwith the period-dou-

    blingbifurcation s called heperiod-doublingoute o chaos

    (Fig. 8). This route s connectedwith many names,with

    Sharkovskii, Grossmann, Thomae, Coullet, Tresser, and

    Feigenbaumeing hemostprominent nes.- Aperiodi-

    city is introduced here in steps,as every period doubling

    transformsa limit cycle at first only into a limit cycle of

    doubledperiod.But when he sequencef successiveeriod

    doublingsconsists f infinitely many doublings, he limit

    will be a periodof infinity, .e., an aperiodicmotion.This, of

    course,can only happenat a finite value of the control pa-

    rameter t, when the intervals n/z betweensuccessiveou-

    blingsget smallerat a sufficientlyapid rate. This is indeed

    the case.Perioddoubling s governed y a universal aw that

    holds n the vicinity of the bifurcationpoint to chaos tc.

    Actually, there are several aws. One of these states that

    when the ratio 5,of successiventervalsof/, in each of

    which there is a constantperiod of oscillation, s taken,

    IV. BIFURCATION DIAGRAMS

    Severalmethodsare available o handleexperimental

    data in the attempt to determinewhich route to chaosmay

    apply.They are not all similarlywell suited o each oute so

    that usuallyoneshould ry all of them. n the intermittency

    route o chaos,hedirectlymeasuredimedependencef the

    variable considered is taken to observe the continuous

    shortening f the aminarphases ith change f the control

    parameter.n the quasiperiodicoute, he time dependence

    ly be detectable.n thiscase he Fourierspectrum houldbe

    calculated,which immediatelydetects he new frequencies

    riod-doubling oute to chaos, oo, is best observed n the

    spectrum f the data,as he successiveppearance f linesat

    half the owest ine (and their harmonics) s verycharacter-

    istic.But in thiscase lsoa plot of the imedependenceften

    yieldsgoodhints.

    The methods recommended so far stem from usual data

    problemof chaoticmotion.Therefore,chaos esearch as

    This is the idea that, however, usually cannot be fully real-

    they shouldbe. But the definition s muchmore powerful.

    The correlation dimension is defined as

    the attractorpoints n the Poincar sectionplane s only

    looks more and more noisy on smallerand smaller scales.

    For these easonshe localslope or small 's tends o 2,

    which is the dimensionof the Poincar sectionplane. Thus

    Xlll. CONCLUDING REMARKS

    The main newmethods f chaosphysics avebeenpre-

    sented n a tutorial manner and illustratedwith examples

    from acoustics, speciallydriven bubble oscillationsand

    acoustic cavitation noise. The methods described have been

    invented o characterizerregularmotion rom deterministic

    systemsmorespecificallyhan by, for instance,heir Fourier

    spectra nd correlationswhich are intrinsically inear con-

    cepts. n this context,chaosphysics uggestshat the notion

    ofa degreeffreedorhust e evised.n conventionalhys-

    ics,a degree f freedom s connected ith a linearmode (a

    harmonicoscillator).A Fourier spectrumwith many ines s

    interpreted scoming rom a systemwith asmanyharmonic

    oscillators nd thusas many degrees f freedom.One of the

    resultsof chaosphysics s that there are nonlinearsystems

    with just a three-dimensional tate space, or instance he

    driven bubble oscillator, that will give rise to broadband

    Fourier spectra (a sign of their irregular behavior). Thus

    theyobviouslyaveust hree degrees'ofreedom"nstead

    of infinitelymanyas suggestedy the Fourierspectrum e-

    cause nly threecoordinates re needed o specify heir state

    As nonlinear oscillators are the natural extension of the

    chaosphysics ill find oneof its main applicationsn the

    area of nonlinearoscillatorysystems. he investigations

    there will center around the laws that are valid in the fully
