We prove that the Lyapunov exponents of random products in a (real or complex) matrix group depends continuously on the matrix coefficients and probability weights. More generally, the Lyapunov exponents of the random product defined by any…

It is shown that the asymptotic spectra of finite-time Lyapunov exponents of a variety of fully chaotic dynamical systems can be understood in terms of a statistical analysis. Using random matrix theory we derive numerical and in particular…
This is a survey article with a limited list of references (as required by the publisher) which appears in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, eds. J.-P. Francoise, G.L. Naber and Tsou S.T. Oxford: Elsevier, 2006. vol.4, pp.94--104.
We explicitly compute the maximal Lyapunov exponent for a switched system on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. This computation is reduced to the characterization of optimal trajectories for an optimal control problem on the Lie group.
For the study of chaotic dynamics and dimension of attractors the concepts of the Lyapunov exponents was found useful and became widely spread. Such characteristics of chaotic behavior, as the Lyapunov dimension and the entropy rate, can be…
Lyapunov-like characterizations for non-uniform in time and uniform robust global asymptotic stability of uncertain systems described by retarded functional differential equations are provided.
We present a new algorithm for computing the Lyapunov exponents spectrum based on a matrix differential equation. The approach belongs to the so called continuous type, where the rate of expansion of perturbations is obtained for all times,…
We prove Lyapunov instability for cases in which the local minimum of the potential energy is reached on a hypersurface of the configuration space. In contrast to the known results in this direction, which hold for potentials satisfying…
For differentiable dynamical systems with dominated splittings, we give upper estimates on the measure-theoretic tail entropy in terms of Lyapunov exponents. As our primary application, we verify the upper semi-continuity of metric entropy…
Generic dynamical systems have `typical' Lyapunov exponents, measuring the sensitivity to small perturbations of almost all trajectories. A generic system has also trajectories with exceptional values of the exponents, corresponding to…
We show that SL(2,R) cocycles with a positive Lyapunov exponent are dense in all regularity classes and for all non-periodic dynamical systems. For Schr\"odinger cocycles, we show prevalence of potentials for which the Lyapunov exponent is…
We construct a continuous linear cocycle over an expanding base dynamics for which the Lyapunov exponents of all ergodic invariant probability measures are small, except for one measure whose Lyapunov exponents are away from zero. The…
For a one-dimensional discrete Schr\"odinger operator with a weakly coupled potential given by a strongly mixing dynamical system with power law decay of correlations, we derive for all energies including the band edges and the band center…
We study the dimension spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for multimodal maps of the interval and their generalizations. We also present related results for rational maps on the Riemann sphere.
The generalized Lyapunov exponents describe the growth of the second moments for a particular solution of the quasi-1D Schroedinger equation with initial conditions on the left end. Their possible application in the Anderson transition…
We study the dimension spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for rational maps on the Riemann sphere.
Bifurcation loci in the moduli space of degree $d$ rational maps are shaped by the hypersurfaces defined by the existence of a cycle of period $n$ and multiplier 0 or $e^{i\theta}$. Using potential-theoretic arguments, we establish two…
We explore some properties of Lyapunov exponents of measures preserved by smooth maps of the interval, and study the behaviour of the Lyapunov exponents under topological conjugacy.
We give lower and upper bounds on both the Lyapunov exponent and generalised Lyapunov exponents for the random product of positive and negative shear matrices. These types of random products arise in applications such as fluid stirring…
