In this paper, we consider linear switched systems $\dot x(t)=A_{u(t)} x(t)$, $x\in\R^n$, $u\in U$, and the problem of asymptotic stability for arbitrary switching functions, uniform with respect to switching ({\bf UAS} for short). We first…

The computation of the entire Lyapunov spectrum for extended dynamical systems is a very time consuming task. If the system is in a chaotic spatio-temporal regime it is possible to approximately reconstruct the Lyapunov spectrum from the…
We generalize the concept of convective (or velocity-dependent) Lyapunov exponent $\Lambda(v)$ to an entire spectrum $\Lambda(v,n)$. Our results are supported by the consistency between the outcome of the chronotopic approach [{\it S. Lepri…

We show how the Lyapunov exponents of a dynamic system can in general be expressed in terms of the free energy of a (non-Hermitian) quantum many-body problem. This puts their study as a problem of statistical mechanics, whose intuitive…
