In a recent letter [Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 30}, 3269 (1995), chao-dyn/9510011], we reported that a macroscopic chaotic determinism emerges in a multistable system: the unidirectional motion of a dissipative particle subject to an apparently…
We investigate chaotic dynamical systems for which the intensity of trajectories might grow unlimited in time. We show that (i) the intensity grows exponentially in time and is distributed spatially according to a fractal measure with an…
This paper explores the chaotic properties of an advection system expressed in difference equations form. In the beginning the Aref's blinking vortex system is examined. Then several new lines are explored related to the sink problem (one…

We perform a detailed study of the chaotic component in mixed-type Hamiltonian systems on the example of a family of billiards [introduced by Robnik in J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 16, 3971 (1983)]. The phase space is divided into a grid of cells…
The wave properties of complex scattering systems that are large compared to the wavelength, and show chaos in the classical limit, are extremely sensitive to system details. A solution to the wave equation for a specific configuration can…
We analyse the spatial inhomogeneities ('spatial clustering') in the distribution of particles accelerated by a force that changes randomly in space and time. To quantify spatial clustering, the phase-space dynamics of the particles must be…
We investigate the scattering properties of one-dimensional, periodically and non-periodically forced oscillators. The pattern of singularities of the scattering function, in the periodic case, shows a characteristic hierarchical structure…
