In this paper, we discuss the Lyapunov exponent definition of chaos and how it can be used to quantify the chaotic behavior of a system. We derive a way to practically calculate the Lyapunov exponent of a one-dimensional system and use it…
The Lyapunov exponents of a dynamical system measure the average rate of exponential stretching along an orbit. Positive exponents are often taken as a defining characteristic of chaotic dynamics. However, the standard…

The Lyapunov exponent is used to characterize the stability of the dynamic response of the system, and it is often employed to verify if a system is chaotic. Since its discovery in the nineteenth century, various methods have been proposed…
