Lyapunov Exponents and Rates of Mixing for One-dimensional Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that one dimensional maps f with strictly positive Lyapunov exponents almost everywhere admit an absolutely continuous invariant measure. If f is topologically transitive some power of f is mixing and in particular the correlation of Hölder continuous observables decays to zero. The main objective of this paper is to show that the rate of decay of correlations is determined, in some situations, to the average rate at which typical points start to exhibit exponential growth of the derivative.

Lyapunov exponents, dual Lyapunov exponents, and multifractal analysis.
It is shown that the multifractal property is shared by both Lyapunov exponents and dual Lyapunov exponents related to scaling functions of one-dimensional expanding folding maps. This reveals in a quantitative way the complexity of the dynamics determined by such maps. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
متن کاملEstimating Invariant Measures and Lyapunov Exponents
This paper describes a method for obtaining rigorous numerical bounds on time averages for a class of one-dimensional expanding maps. The idea is to directly estimate the absolutely continuous invariant measure for these maps, without computing trajectories. The main theoretical result is a bound on the convergence rate of the Frobenius-Perron operator for such maps. The method is applied to es...
متن کاملGeometrical constraints on finite-time Lyapunov exponents in two and three dimensions.
Constraints are found on the spatial variation of finite-time Lyapunov exponents of two- and three-dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations. In a chaotic system, finite-time Lyapunov exponents describe the average rate of separation, along characteristic directions, of neighboring trajectories. The solution of the equations is a coordinate transformation that takes initial conditi...
متن کاملAlmost Complete Lyapunov Spectrum in Step Skew-products
We study the spectrum of Lyapunov exponents of a family of partially hyperbolic and topologically transitive local diffeomorphisms that are step skew-products over a horseshoe map, continuing previous investigations. These maps are genuinely non-hyperbolic and the central Lyapunov spectrum contains negative and positive values. We show that, besides one gap, this spectrum is complete. We also i...
متن کاملA Minimum Principle for Lyapunov Exponents and a Higher-dimensional Version of a Theorem of Mañé
We consider compact invariant sets Λ for C maps in arbitrary dimension. We prove that if Λ contains no critical points then there exists an invariant probability measure with a Lyapunov exponent λ which is the minimum of all Lyapunov exponents for all invariant measures supported on Λ. We apply this result to prove that Λ is uniformly expanding if every invariant probability measure supported o...
