Lyapunov Exponents for Continuous Transformations and Dimension Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We generalize the concept of Lyapunov exponent to transformations that are not necessarily differentiable. For fairly large classes of repellers and of hyperbolic sets of differentiable maps, the new exponents are shown to coincide with the classical ones. We also discuss the relation of the new Lyapunov exponents with the dimension theory of dynamical systems for invariant sets of continuous transformations.

Transformation Invariance of Lyapunov Exponents
Lyapunov exponents represent important quantities to characterize the properties of dynamical systems. We show that the Lyapunov exponents of two dierent dynamical systems that can be converted to each other by a transformation of variables are identical. Moreover, we derive sucient conditions on the transformation for this invariance property to hold. In particular, it turns out that the tra...
متن کاملHausdorff and packing dimensions for ergodic invariant measures of two-dimensional Lorenz transformations
We extend the notions of Hausdorff and packing dimension introducing weights in their definition. These dimensions are computed for ergodic invariant probability measures of two-dimensional Lorenz transformations, which are transformations of the type occuring as first return maps to a certain cross section for the Lorenz differential equation. We give a formula of the dimensions of such measur...
متن کاملThe Graduate School THERMODYNAMIC FORMALISM AND MULTIFRACTAL
We investigate to what degree results in dimension theory and multifractal formalism can be derived as a direct consequence of thermodynamic properties of a dynamical system. We show that under quite general conditions, various multifractal spectra (the entropy spectrum for Birkhoff averages and the dimension spectrum for pointwise dimensions, among others) may be obtained as Legendre transform...
متن کاملModel Based Method for Determining the Minimum Embedding Dimension from Solar Activity Chaotic Time Series
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 کاملOn the Fractal Dimension of Invariant Sets; Applications to Navier–stokes Equations
A semigroup St of continuous operators in a Hilbert space H is considered. It is shown that the fractal dimension of a compact strictly invariant set X (X b H, StX = X) admits the same estimate as the Hausdorff dimension, namely, both are bounded from above by the Lyapunov dimension calculated in terms of the global Lyapunov exponents. Applications of the results so obtained to the two–dimensio...
