We show that a linear Young differential equation generates a topological two-parameter flow, thus the notions of Lyapunov exponents and Lyapunov spectrum are well-defined. The spectrum can be computed using the discretized flow and is…

This paper is concerned with relationships of Lyapunov exponents with sensitivity and stability for non-autonomous discrete systems. Some new concepts are introduced for non-autonomous discrete systems, including Lyapunov exponents, strong…
We consider the top Lyapunov exponent associated to a dissipative linear evolution equation posed on a separable Hilbert or Banach space. In many applications in partial differential equations, such equations are often posed on a scale of…
Lyapunov exponents are indicators for the chaotic properties of a classical dynamical system. They are most naturally defined in terms of the time evolution of a set of so-called covariant vectors, co-moving with the linearized flow in…
Stability criteria are given for linear periodic Hamiltonian systems with impulse effect. A Lyapunov type inequality and a disconjugacy criterion are also established. The results improve the ones in the literature for such systems.
We survey a collection of recent results on center Lyapunov exponents of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms. We explain several ideas in simplified setups and formulate the general versions of results. We also pose some open questions.
We characterize geometrically the Lyapunov exponents of a cocycle (of arbitrary rank) with respect to a harmonic current defined on a hyperbolic Riemann surface lamination. Our characterizations are formulated in terms of the expansion…
We prove that the Lyapunov exponents of typical fiber bunched linear cocycles over Lorenz-like flows have multiplicity one: the set of exceptional cocycles has infinite codimention, i.e. it is locally contained in finite unions of closed…
We compute the full Lyapunov spectra for a hard-disk fluid under temperature gradient and shear. The system is thermalized by deterministic and time-reversible scattering at the boundary. This thermostating mechanism allows for energy…
For linear cocycles over both maps and flows, we obtain Datko-Pazy type of conditions under which all Lyapunov exponents of a given cocycle are negative. Furthermore, by combining our results with the results on subadditive ergodic…
We consider $k$-positive linear systems, that is, systems that map the set of vectors with up to $k-1$ sign variations to itself. For $k=1$, this reduces to positive linear systems. It is well-known that stable positive linear time…
In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of Lyapunov exponents of linear differential system are proved in the sense that the equations satisfy the weaker form of integral separation instead of its classical…
The Lyapunov exponents of a chaotic system quantify the exponential divergence of initially nearby trajectories. For Hamiltonian systems the exponents are related to the eigenvalues of a symplectic matrix. We make use of this fact to…
This work studies the problem of searching for homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for stable switched linear systems. Specifically, we show an equivalence between polynomial Lyapunov functions for systems of this class and quadratic…
We consider a large class of 2D area-preserving diffeomorphisms that are not uniformly hyperbolic but have strong hyperbolicity properties on large regions of their phase spaces. A prime example is the Standard map. Lower bounds for…
We show that there is a residual subset $\mathcal{R}$ of $Diff^1(M)$ such that for any $f\in\mathcal{R}$ and any partially hyperbolic homoclinic class $H(p,f)$ with one dimensional center direction, the set of central Lyapunov exponents…
We establish that the entropy production rate of a classically chaotic Hamiltonian system coupled to the environment settles, after a transient, to a meta-stable value given by the sum of positive generalized Lyapunov exponents. A…
We prove that Lyapunov exponents of typical H\"older continuous fiber bunched linear cocycles over singular hyperbolic flows have multiplicity 1: the subspace of exceptional cocycles has infinite codimension.
A general method to determine covariant Lyapunov vectors in both discrete- and continuous-time dynamical systems is introduced. This allows to address fundamental questions such as the degree of hyperbolicity, which can be quantified in…
