SUMMARY:A search for the simplest chaotic partial differential equatio
 n\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Charlie Brummitt\, UW Department
  of Physics
DESCRIPTION:A search for the simplest chaotic partial differential equ
 ation (PDE) concludes that the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is likely
  the simplest chaotic PDE. We enumerate all of the equations with one 
 quadratic or cubic nonlinearity that are "simpler" than the Kuramoto-S
 ivashinsky equation and test them for chaos\, but none appear to be ch
 aotic. Nevertheless\, the search finds a strikingly simple PDE that is
  chaotic in the discrete limit of finitely many\, coupled ordinary dif
 ferential equations (ODEs). Analysis of this finite system indicates w
 hy the chaos vanishes in the limit of infinitely many ODEs.
