The Kuramoto–Sivashinsky Equation (Part 8)

Our paper on the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is out!

This equation displays chaos and an arrow of time—and we state a precise conjecture about it, which may be very hard to prove, but is easy to study numerically. Steve Huntsman has written MATLAB code to help you do this, and I can make that available if you’re interested.

So what’s the idea? The article is short so...
