Does the Maximum Lyapunov exponent depend on the eigenvalues?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the relationship between eigenvalues and the Maximum Lyapunov exponent, particularly in the context of stability in control theory. Negative eigenvalues indicate unstable systems, as stated in the referenced paper, and this aligns with the findings illustrated in Figure 8. The correlation between eigenvalues and Lyapunov exponents is significant, as it suggests that systems with negative real parts of eigenvalues are stable, reinforcing the importance of understanding the Lyapunov spectrum in analyzing system stability.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lyapunov exponents and their significance in stability analysis.
  • Familiarity with eigenvalues and their role in control theory.
  • Knowledge of the Lyapunov spectrum and its definitions.
  • Basic concepts of stability in dynamical systems.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the definition and implications of the Lyapunov spectrum in dynamical systems.
  • Explore the relationship between eigenvalues and system stability in control theory.
  • Study the Maximum Lyapunov exponent and its calculation methods.
  • Investigate case studies that illustrate the correlation between eigenvalues and Lyapunov exponents.
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, control theorists, and engineers focused on system stability analysis, particularly those interested in the mathematical foundations of Lyapunov exponents and eigenvalue relationships.

TL;DR
Does the value of the Maximum Lyapunov exponent depend on the eigenvalues of the system?
I am currently reading this paper where on page 8, the authors say that:

Negative eigenvalues correspond to unstable systems.
This correlates with Figure 8 on page 12.

Does it mean that there is a real correlation between eigenvalues and Lyapunov exponents?
