Wolf, Alan; Swift, Jack B.; Swinney, Harry L.; Vastano, John A. Determining Lyapunov exponents from a time series. (English) Zbl 0585.58037 Physica D 16, 285-317 (1985). Authors’ summary: ”We present the first algorithms that allow the estimation of nonnegative Lyapunov exponents from an experimental time series. Lyapunov exponents, which provide a qualitative and quantitative characterization of dynamical behavior, are related to the exponentially fast divergence or convergence of nearby orbits in phase space. A system with one or more positive Lyapunov exponents is defined to be chaotic. Our method is rooted conceptually in a previously developed technique that could only be applied to analytically defined model systems: we monitor the long-term growth rate of small volume elements in an attractor. The method is tested on model systems with known Lyapunov spectra, and applied to data for the Belousov-Zhabotinskij reaction and Couette-Taylor flow.” Reviewer: K.Furutani Cited in 5 ReviewsCited in 1237 Documents MSC: 37-XX Dynamical systems and ergodic theory Keywords:Lyapunov spectra; chaos; dynamical system; Lyapunov exponents; dynamical behavior; attractor Software:Lyapunov Exponents for ODE PDF BibTeX XML Cite \textit{A.
