Supertransients and suppressed chaos in the diffusively coupled logistic lattice.
Pattern selection at medium and high nonlinearity is investigated. While in the former the transient time levels off for large system sizes, in the latter it diverges exponentially giving rise to supertransients. In both cases, the final attractors are quite stable with as a consequence that even at high nonlinearity an attractor can easily be reached by means of a parameter sweep.
