Localized Lyapunov exponents and the prediction of predictability
نویسندگان
چکیده
Every forecast should include an estimate of its likely accuracy, a current measure of predictability. Two distinct types of localized Lyapunov exponents based on infinitesimal uncertainty dynamics are investigated to reflect this predictability. Regions of high predictability within which any initial uncertainty will decrease are proven to exist in two common chaotic systems; potential implications of these regions are considered. The relevance of these results for finite size uncertainties is discussed and illustrated numerically. 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 05.45.-a; 05.10.-a; 05.45.Tp

Predicting future behavior of chaotic time series system is a challenging area in the literature of nonlinear systems. The prediction's accuracy of chaotic time series is extremely dependent on the model and the learning algorithm. On the other hand the cyclic solar activity as one of the natural chaotic systems has significant effects on earth, climate, satellites and space missions. Several m...
متن کاملPerturbations in Chaotic Dynarnical Systems
In ensemble predictions, particularly in numerical weather forecasts, the true initial errors are usually not known, and can be optimally represented by an ensemble of perturbations. Thus the growth rate and predictability of an ensemble of perturbations have direct impact on the quality and predictability of an ensemble forecast. In this paper, local metric entropy (LME) is introduced and used...
متن کاملLocal Lyapunov Exponents : Predictability depends on where you are
The dominant Lyapunov exponent of a dynamical system measures the average rate at which nearby trajectories of a system diverge. Even though a positive exponent provides evidence for chaotic dynamics and upredictability, there may predictability of the time series over some finite time periods. In this paper one version of a local Lyapunov exponent is defined for a dynamic system perturbed by n...
