چکیده

We describe a simple continuous-time flow such that Lyapunov exponents fail to exist at nearly every point in the phase space R2 , despite the fact that the flow admits a unique natural measure. This example illustrates that the existence of Lyapunov exponents is a subtle question for systems that are not conservative.

Spurious Lyapunov Exponents Computed Using the Eckmann - Ruelle Procedure

Lyapunov exponents, important invariants of a complicated dynamical process, can be difficult to determine from experimental data. In particular, when using embedding theory to build chaotic attractors in a reconstruction space, extra “spurious” Lyapunov exponents can arise that are not Lyapunov exponents of the original system. By studying the local linearization matrices that are key to a pop...

Lyapunov Exponents of Systems Evolving on Quadratic Groups

In this paper we show some symmetry properties of Lyapunov exponents of a dynamical system when the linearized problem evolves on a quadratic group, X HX = H , with H orthogonal. It is well understood that in this case the exponents are symmetric with respect to the origin. Here, we give lower bounds on the number of Lyapunov exponents which are 0, and show that some Lyapunov exponents may have...

Cellular automata and Lyapunov exponents

The first definition of Lyapunov exponents (depending on a probability measure) for a one-dimensional cellular automaton were introduced by Shereshevsky in 1991. The existence of an almost everywhere constant value for each of the two exponents (left and right), requires particular conditions for the measure. Shereshevsky establishes an inequality involving these two constants and the metric en...

The Lyapunov Spectrum for Conformal Expanding Maps and Axiom-A Surface Diffeomorphisms

Lyapunov exponents measure the exponential rate of divergence of infinitesimally close orbits of a smooth dynamical system. These exponents are intimately related to the global stochastic behavior of the system and are fundamental invariants of a smooth dynamical system. In [EP], Eckmann and Procaccia suggested an analysis of Lyapunov exponents for chaotic dynamical systems. This suggestion was...

Some explicit formulas of Lyapunov exponents for 3D quadratic mappings

This paper shows that there exist six different cases where it is possible to find rigorously a Lyapunov exponent for 3-D quadratic mappings. An elementary example is also given and discussed.
