Measurement of the Lyapunov Spectrum from a Chaotic Time Series

Sano, M., Sawada, Y.·1985·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The exponential divergence or convergence of nearby trajectories (Lyapunov exponents) is conceptually the most basic indicator of deterministic chaos. We propose a new method to determine the spectrum of several Lyapunov exponents (including positive, zero, and even negative ones) from the observed time series of a single variable. We have applied the method to various known model systems and also to the Rayleigh-B\'enard experiment, and have elucidated the dependence of the Lyapunov exponents on the Rayleigh number.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
