Download or read book Local Lyapunov Exponents written by Wolfgang Siegert and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing a new concept of local Lyapunov exponents the author brings together two separate theories, namely Lyapunov exponents and the theory of large deviations. Specifically, a linear differential system is considered which is controlled by a stochastic process that during a suitable noise-intensity-dependent time is trapped near one of its so-called metastable states. The local Lyapunov exponent is then introduced as the exponential growth rate of the linear system on this time scale. Unlike classical Lyapunov exponents, which involve a limit as time increases to infinity in a fixed system, here the system itself changes as the noise intensity converges, too.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of Lyapunov exponents originated over a century ago in the study of the stability of solutions of differential equations. Written by one of the subject's leading authorities, this book is both an account of the classical theory, from a modern view, and an introduction to the significant developments relating the subject to dynamical systems, ergodic theory, mathematical physics and probability. It is based on the author's own graduate course and is reasonably self-contained with an extensive set of exercises provided at the end of each chapter. This book makes a welcome addition to the literature, serving as a graduate text and a valuable reference for researchers in the field.

Book excerpt: This book offers a self-contained introduction to the theory of Lyapunov exponents and its applications, mainly in connection with hyperbolicity, ergodic theory and multifractal analysis. It discusses the foundations and some of the main results and main techniques in the area, while also highlighting selected topics of current research interest. With the exception of a few basic results from ergodic theory and the thermodynamic formalism, all the results presented include detailed proofs. The book is intended for all researchers and graduate students specializing in dynamical systems who are looking for a comprehensive overview of the foundations of the theory and a sample of its applications.

Download or read book Lyapunov Exponents written by Arkady Pikovsky and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyapunov exponents lie at the heart of chaos theory, and are widely used in studies of complex dynamics. Utilising a pragmatic, physical approach, this self-contained book provides a comprehensive description of the concept. Beginning with the basic properties and numerical methods, it then guides readers through to the most recent advances in applications to complex systems. Practical algorithms are thoroughly reviewed and their performance is discussed, while a broad set of examples illustrate the wide range of potential applications. The description of various numerical and analytical techniques for the computation of Lyapunov exponents offers an extensive array of tools for the characterization of phenomena such as synchronization, weak and global chaos in low and high-dimensional set-ups, and localization. This text equips readers with all the investigative expertise needed to fully explore the dynamical properties of complex systems, making it ideal for both graduate students and experienced researchers.

Download or read book Lyapunov Exponents and Smooth Ergodic Theory written by Luis Barreira and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic introduction to the core of smooth ergodic theory. An expanded version of an earlier work by the same authors, it describes the general (abstract) theory of Lyapunov exponents and the theory's applications to the stability theory of differential equations, the stable manifold theory, absolute continuity of stable manifolds, and the ergodic theory of dynamical systems with nonzero Lyapunov exponents (including geodesic flows). It could be used as a primary text for a course on nonuniform hyperbolic theory or as supplemental reading for a course on dynamical systems. Assumes a basic knowledge of real analysis, measure theory, differential equations, and topology. c. Book News Inc.

Download or read book Random Dynamical Systems written by Ludwig Arnold and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first systematic presentation of the theory of dynamical systems under the influence of randomness, this book includes products of random mappings as well as random and stochastic differential equations. The basic multiplicative ergodic theorem is presented, providing a random substitute for linear algebra. On its basis, many applications are detailed. Numerous instructive examples are treated analytically or numerically.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the predecessor to this volume (LNM 1186, Eds. L. Arnold, V. Wihstutz)appeared in 1986, significant progress has been made in the theory and applications of Lyapunov exponents - one of the key concepts of dynamical systems - and in particular, pronounced shifts towards nonlinear and infinite-dimensional systems and engineering applications are observable. This volume opens with an introductory survey article (Arnold/Crauel) followed by 26 original (fully refereed) research papers, some of which have in part survey character. From the Contents: L.
