Abstract

We examine the dynamical roles of nonattracting chaotic sets known as chaotic saddles in an Alfvén wave system described by the driven-dissipative derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. These Alfvén chaotic saddles have gaps which are filled at the onset of chaos via a saddle-node bifurcation and at a chaotic transition via an interior crisis. It is shown that after an interior crisis an Alfvén chaotic attractor consists of two chaotic saddles connected by a set of coupling unstable periodic orbits.
