Finite-wavelength instability coupled to a Goldstone mode: the Nikolaevskiy equation

The Nikolaevskiy equation is considered as a simple model exhibiting spatiotemporal chaos due to the coupling of finite-wavelength patterns to a long-wavelength mode (Goldstone mode). It was originally proposed as a model for seismic waves and is also considered as a model for various physical pheno...
