| The driven damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation is solved numerically and different attractors - periodic and chaotic ones - are obtained for different ranges of the forcing field amplitude. It is shown that these attractors are in both cases spatially nonuniform in time. Spatial inhomogeneity of the chaotic attractor is investigated by the estimation of the correlation dimension at different space points. |
