Abstract: Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^{2}$ be a smooth bounded domain. Given positive integers $n$

and $q_{l}~\le ~l$ , $l=1$

, ...,

, consider the semilinear parabolic equation

$\begin{alignat*}{2} u_{t}&=u_{xx}+u_{yy}+a(x,y)u+ \smash{\sum _{l=1}^{k}}a_{l}(x,y) u^{l-q_{l}}(u_{y})^{q_{l}},&\quad &t>0, (x,y)\in \Omega,\tag{E} u&=0,&\quad& t>0, (x,y)\in \partial \Omega . \end{alignat*}$

where

and $a_{l}(x,y)$ are smooth functions. By refining and extending previous results of Polácik we show that arbitrary $k$

-jets of vector fields in $\mathbb R^{n}$ can be realized in equations of the form (E). In particular, taking $q_{l}\equiv 1$ we see that very complicated (chaotic) behavior is possible for reaction-diffusion-convection equations with linear dependence on $\nabla u$ .
