Abstract
The lecture notes presented here are an attempt at giving a coherent introduction to some concepts which are not usually presented together. “Low dimensional chaos” is, despite its recent absorption into the physics community, becoming a reasonably mature subject. At least one now knows practical ways of quantifying “chaos”, one has an understanding of the underlying fractal geometry and for certain special cases one even has strong theoretical results. Turbulence, on the other hand, is an extremely ramified subject and, especially from the experimental side, rather well-studied, largely because of its many technical applications from refrigerators to airplanes. In these lectures the word “turbulence” will be used in a rather general sense, not limited to the motion of fluids. We shall use it to describe motion which is irregular both in space and time as distinguished from the word “chaos” which is usually used about the irregular temporal motion of a single (or a few) variables. This means that we can talk about turbulence in chemical reactions, dynamical interphases and many other nonhydrodynamical situations.

Note that small wavelength instabilities can occur if ε becomes too large. It is easy to check that \(\mid 1-{\varepsilon}+{\varepsilon\over 2}(\cos q_1+\cos q_2)\mid\leq 1\) for all q 1, q 2 as long as 0≤ε≤l. For ε> l the “staggered” state with q 1=q 2=π becomes unstable.
