It is shown that probability densities of finite-time Lyapunov exponents, corresponding to chimera states, have a characteristic shape. Such distributions could be used as a signature of chimera states, particularly in systems for which the…
Understanding stickiness and power-law behavior of Poincar\'e recurrence statistics is an open problem for higher-dimensional systems, in contrast to the well-understood case of systems with two degrees-of-freedom. We study such…
To make predictions or design control, information on local sensitivity of initial conditions and state-space contraction is both central, and often instrumental. However, it is not always simple to reliably determine instability fields or…
