Abstract
Chaos is a typical form of dynamical behavior of classical nonlinear dynamical systems. In conservative Hamiltonian systems with f degrees of freedom chaos appears if the system is not intergrable and in some regions of phase space trajectories are not restricted to f-dimensional smooth manifolds. In dissipative systems chaos in the dynamical steady state appears if the system has a strange attractor in configuration space.
