In chaotic dynamical systems, an infinitesimal perturbation is exponentially amplified at a time-rate given by the inverse of the maximum Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$. In fully developed turbulence, $\lambda$ grows as a power of the Reynolds…
The phase space trajectories of many body systems charateristic of simple fluids are highly unstable. We quantify this instability by a set of Lyapunov exponents, which are the rates of exponential divergence, or convergence, of initial…
Strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs), which are realized in many quasiperiodically driven nonlinear systems are strange (geometrically fractal) but nonchaotic (the largest nontrivial Lyapunov exponent is negative). Two such identical…
Observer-based methods are widely used to estimate the disturbances of different dynamic systems. However, a drawback of the conventional disturbance observers is that they all assume persistent excitation (PE) of the systems. As a result,…
We study chaotic synchronization in networks with time-delayed coupling. We introduce the notion of strong and weak chaos, distinguished by the scaling properties of the maximum Lyapunov exponent within the synchronization manifold for…
During the past decades, the question of existence and properties of a random attractor of a random dynamical system generated by an S(P)DE has received considerable attention, for example by the work of Gess and R\"ockner. Recently some…
The presence of chaos in classical Hamiltonian systems is witnessed by its maximal Lyapunov exponent, that quantifies the instability of motion through the exponential growth of indicators such as the trace of the stability matrix or the…

Synchronization is shown to occur in spatially extended systems under the effect of additive spatio-temporal noise. In analogy to low dimensional systems, synchronized states are observable only if the maximum Lyapunov exponent $\Lambda$ is…
Eccentric mixing is a typical chaotic mixing method, and the study of its mixing characteristics is beneficial to the optimization of the mixing process. In this study, the effects of eccentricity (E/R) and rotational speed (N) on the…
For non-autonomous linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs), we establish that the top Lyapunov exponent is continuous if the coefficients "almost" uniformly converge. For autonomous SDEs, assuming the existence of invariant measures…
The local dynamic stability method (maximum Lyapunov exponent) can assess gait stability. Two variants of the method exist: the short-term divergence exponent (DE), and the long-term DE. Only the short-term DE can predict fall risk. The…
Using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, we show that chaos in globally-coupled identical dynamical systems, be they dissipative or Hamiltonian, is both extensive and sub-extensive: their spectrum of Lyapunov exponents is…
