Highlighting the lack of effective descriptions for chaos and turbulence
Pointing out the importance of understanding dependence on initial data
Discussing paradoxes in ecological and physical systems
Abstract
Nowadays, chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics lack research focuses. Here we mention a few major open problems: 1. an effective description of chaos and turbulence, 2. rough dependence on initial data, 3. arrow of time, 4. the paradox of enrichment, 5. the paradox of pesticides, 6. the paradox of plankton.
