Small-sized systems exhibit a finite number of routes to chaos. However, in extended systems, not all routes to complex spatiotemporal behavior have been fully explored. Starting from the sine-Gordon model of parametrically driven chain of damped nonlinear oscillators, we investigate a route to spatiotemporal chaos emerging from standing waves. The route from the stationary to the chaotic state proceeds through quasiperiodic dynamics. The standing wave undergoes the onset of oscillatory instability, which subsequently exhibits a different critical frequency, from which the complexity originates. A suitable amplitude equation, valid close to the parametric resonance, makes it possible to produce universe results. The respective phase-space structure and bifurcation diagrams are produced in a numerical form. We characterize the relevant dynamical regimes by means of the largest Lyapunov exponent, the power spectrum, and the evolution of the total intensity of the wave field.

We analyze the origin and properties of the chaotic dynamics of two atomic ensembles in a driven-dissipative experimental setup, where they are collectively damped by a bad cavity mode and incoherently pumped by a Raman laser. Starting from the mean-field equations, we explain the emergence of chaos by way of quasiperiodicity -- presence of two or more incommensurate frequencies. This is known as the Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse route to chaos. The equations of motion have a $mathbb{Z}_{2}$-symmetry with respect to the interchange of the two ensembles. However, some of the attractors of these equations spontaneously break this symmetry. To understand the emergence and subsequent properties of various attractors, we concurrently study the mean-field trajectories, Poincar{e} sections, maximum and conditional Lyapunov exponents, and power spectra. Using Floquet analysis, we show that quasiperiodicity is born out of non $mathbb{Z}_{2}$-symmetric oscillations via a supercritical Neimark-Sacker bifurcation. Changing the detuning between the level spacings in the two ensembles and the repump rate results in the synchronization of the two chaotic ensembles. In this regime, the chaotic intensity fluctuations of the light radiated by the two ensembles are identical. Identifying the synchronization manifold, we understand the origin of synchronized chaos as a tangent bifurcation intermittency of the $mathbb{Z}_{2}$-symmetric oscillations. At its birth, synchronized chaos is unstable. The interaction of this attractor with other attractors causes on-off intermittency until the synchronization manifold becomes sufficiently attractive. We also show coexistence of different phases in small pockets near the boundaries.
We investigate a model for pattern formation in the presence of Galilean symmetry proposed by Matthews and Cox [Phys. Rev. E textbf{62}, R1473 (2000)], which has the form of coupled generalized Burgers and Ginzburg-Landau-type equations. With only the system size $L$ as a parameter, we find distinct small-$L$ and large-$L$ regimes exhibiting clear differences in their dynamics and scaling behavior. The long-time statistically stationary state contains a single $L$-dependent front, stabilized globally by spatiotemporally chaotic dynamics localized away from the front. For sufficiently large domains, the transient dynamics include a state consisting of several viscous shock-like structures which coarsens gradually, before collapsing to a single front when one front absorbs the others.
The texture of phase space and bifurcation diagrams of two-dimensional discrete maps describing a lattice of interacting oscillators, confined in on-site potentials with deformable double-well shapes, are examined. The two double-well potentials considered belong to a family proposed by Dikande and Kofane (A. M. Dikande and T. C. Kofane, Solid State Commun. vol. 89, p. 559, 1994), whose shapes can be tuned distinctively: one has a variable barrier height and the other has variable minima positions. However the two parametrized double-well potentials reduce to the $phi^4$ substrate, familiar in the studies of structural phase transitions in centro-symmetric crystals or bistable processes in biophysics. It is shown that although the parametric maps are area preserving their routes to chaos display different characteristic features: the first map exhibits a cascade of period-doubling bifurcations with respect to the potential amplitude, but period-halving bifurcations with respect to the shape deformability parameter. On the other hand the first bifurcation of the second map always coincides with the first pitchfork bifurcation of the $phi^4$ map. However, an increase of the deformability parameter shrinks the region between successive period-doubling bifurcations. The two opposite bifurcation cascades characterizing the first map, and the shrinkage of regions between successive bifurcation cascades which is characteristic of the second map, suggest a non-universal character of the Feigenbaum-number sequences associate with the two discrete parametric double-well maps.
Dynamics of a simple system, such as a two-state (dimer) model, are dramatically changed in the presence of interactions and external driving, and the resultant unitary dynamics show both regular and chaotic regions. We investigate the non-unitary dynamics of such a dimer in the presence of balanced gain and loss for the two states, i.e. a $mathcal{PT}$ symmetric dimer. We find that at low and high driving frequencies, the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dimer motion continues to be regular, and the system is in the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetric state. On that other hand, for intermediate driving frequency, the system shows chaotic motion, and is usually in the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry broken state. Our results elucidate the interplay between the $mathcal{PT}$-symmetry breaking transitions and regular-chaotic transitions in an experimentally accessible toy model.
We consider both the dynamics within and towards the supercycle attractors along the period-doubling route to chaos to analyze the development of a statistical-mechanical structure. In this structure the partition function consists of the sum of the attractor position distances known as supercycle diameters and the associated thermodynamic potential measures the rate of approach of trajectories to the attractor. The configurational weights for finite $2^{N}$, and infinite $N rightarrow infty $, periods can be expressed as power laws or deformed exponentials. For finite period the structure is undeveloped in the sense that there is no true configurational degeneracy, but in the limit $Nrightarrow infty $ this is realized together with the analog property of a Legendre transform linking entropies of two ensembles. We also study the partition functions for all $N$ and the action of the Central Limit Theorem via a binomial approximation.
