The illustrative examples in this paper are taken from ongoing joint research of the author with J. M. Hyman, B. Nicolaenko and J. C. Scovel (for the Kuramoto-Shivashinsky PDE) and with R. E. Ecke (for the Rayleigh-Bdnard experiments). Research on both of these projects is performed under the auspices of the U.S Department of Energy The author would also like to acknowledge many helpful discussions with D. G. Aronson, R. P. McGehee and M. S. Jolly.
