Lyapunov Definition and 24 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...

Homework Statement I am supposed to calculate Lyapunov exponent of a damped, driven harmonic oscillator given by ## \ddot{x} + 2\beta \dot{x} + \omega_0^2 x = fcos(\omega t)## Lyapunov exponent is ## \lambda ## in the equation ## \delta x(t) = \delta x_0 e^{\lambda t} ## The attempt at a...

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...

Homework Statement I can't seem to figure out how this next step of this derivation for equation 2.33 was produced. This is a graduate level textbook on Adaptive Backstepping.

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} =...

Assume that f(0) = 0 and Df(0) has eigenvalues with negative real parts. Con- struct a Lyapunov function to show that 0 is asymptotically stable.

URGENT: Lyapunov Equation for backward continuous-time Kalman Filter Hi, Consider a continuous Kalman filter running backward in time as desired in a "two-filter" smoother. What would be the form of Lyapunov equation for this backward-time filter? Given a system: dx/dt = Fx + Gv, and...

Hello, Analyzing data from a chaotic pendulum, I calculated the Lyapunov exponent to be somewhere around 10^5 . While my gut tells me something is wrong with this number , i failed to find any information regarding the order of magnitude of Lyapunov exponents and their meaning. Can someone...

Hi, the discussions in this forum have always been a great help to me as it seems there's always someone who's answered my question. However, this time I'm still puzzled. People often talk about the sum of the Lyapunov exponents of a dynamical system (i.e. adding the exponents from each...

Lyapunov Theory: Please Help! Homework Statement If the origin x=0 is globally asymptotically stable equilibrium point of the system then it must be the _________ equilibrium point of the system. Homework Equations None The Attempt at a Solution This is an objective/one word answer.

Hi Everybody, I have just finished the control systems components of the engineering degree and found it very enjoyable. I'm now undertaking a holiday project to create a quad rotor aircraft. There is a surprising amount of information on these aircraft on the internet and while most of it is...
