Abstract
This article attempts to offer a broader interpretation of the nature and role of laminar flamelets than is usually considered. In particular, when such flamelets have multiple solutions, as is commonly the case, it is possible to predict some interesting structures and important dynamical interactions between different possible types of flamelet.
