Lyapunov Definition and 32 Threads

I am currently reading this paper where on page 8, the authors say that: This correlates with Figure 8 on page 12. Does it mean that there is a real correlation between eigenvalues and Lyapunov exponents?

I am trying to understand attracting, Liapunov stable, asymptotically stable for given coupled system. I don't have any Liapunov function. Just two coupled systems such as ##\dot{x} = y##, ##\dot{y} = -4x## or sometimes normal systems ##\dot{x} = -x##, ##\dot{y} = -5y## How can I approach...

Greetings! Hey, can anyone help me? I need an explanation how can Lyapunov help me to check the system weather it is chaotic or not. Let say I have this equation Rossler System Eq.(1) So how can you tell that the system have chaotic behavior or not? Does it depends on parameters? or from...

Hi, I am a beginner and I don't speak very well... So I'm really sorry for my poor scientific language... I work on 1-Dimension time series of a same system measured at different periods. In these periods, time series have different chaotic characteristics as their lyapunov exponent are...

May I use function f(x) = 1/(1+x) to investigate chaos? I am trying to understand chaos using this function, but things are not going as I expected... Could you please advice me how I can calculate Lyapunov coefficient for this function?

Hey guys, I need your help. I am not sure if this is the right part of the forum to ask this question. So I started reading papers about the Lyapunov Exponent, but there is something I do not understand in the formula. Why ? It seems logical that we want because we want to get the Exponent...

I work with an electromagnetic molecule trap, and I'd like to determine which orbits are chaotic. To this end, I intend to study the evolution of a perturbation on a trajectory with time. I'd like to compute something called the fast lyapunov indicator for various trajectories y(t), where I...

Hi. I'm trying to get the Lyapunov coeficient for a Lorenz System (namely, a laser, using the Lorenz-Haken model) but I'm not getting the plots that would be expected. This is how two trajectories with near identical initial conditions behave (only one of the variables): And here's the...

Dear all, Consider the connection of two electrical circuits. Both circuits, Z1 and Z2, are stable and only one of them is non-passive. I.e., the eigenvalues are located in the LHP but Re{Z2(jw)}<0 in a frequency range. For studying the closed-loop stability, you represent the linear system by...

In computational physics is very often to calculate largest Lyapunov exponent. If largest Lyapunov exponent ##LE## is positive there is chaos in the system, if it is negative or zero there is no chaos in the system. But what can we say about some certain value of ##LE##. For example...

Hello, question about the energy of a variable length pendulum. Suppose you have a pendulum in the standard sense where θ is the angle, and we let the length r be a function of time r = r(t). What is the energy of the pendulum? So far, I have determined that kinetic energy is =...

Homework Statement Example: x'=y-x^3 y'=-x-y^3 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Linear system x'=y y'=-x Is stable because Det(P-\lambdaE)=\lambda2+1 \lambda1,2=+-i So if I am not mistaken,than Ishould use Lyapunov stability,because the linear system is stable and I can't say...

A question I am doing hints that the solution (y,\dot{y}) = (0,0) of \ddot{y} - \frac{2}{t}\dot{y} + y = 0 is unstable. I believe (although I am not 100% sure) that is true however I am struggling to prove it. I can rewrite the equation as a system of equations in matrix form to get \dot{x} =...

I had a thread earlier on the notation but it hasn't really helped me progress on the question. I'm really confused on how to start this, am I expected to find Q myself? As in choose any random Q? I need the Q to maximise rho, and so I think I need to find a Q where q1 is as large as possible...
