We consider the relation between relaxation time and the largest Lyapunov exponent in a system of two coupled oscillators, one of them being harmonic. It has been found that in a rather broad region of parameter space, contrary to the…
Although the discovery of the chaotic motion of the inner planets in the solar system dates back to more than thirty years ago, the secular chaos of their orbits still dares more analytical analyses. Apart from the high-dimensional…
