Nonlinear interference of ionization waves

The onset of irregular wave motion caused by nonlinear interference of two spontaneously existing ionization wave varieties is described and compared with the situation when only a single wave becomes irregular due to forced modulation by its harmonics. A similar phenomenological explanation for the loss of periodicity based on the influence of combined frequencies and wavenumbers of the fundamental originally periodic waves can be given in this case.
