In this short note, we prove positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for 1D continuum Anderson models by leveraging some classical tools from inverse spectral theory. The argument is much simpler than the existing proof due to…
We study the problem of estimating the maximal Lyapunov exponent of dominated cocycles. In particular we are concerned with cocycles over Gibbs states on shifts of finite type for which both the function defining the cocycle and the…
Complete Lyapunov functions for a dynamical system, given by an autonomous ordinary differential equation, are scalar-valued functions that are strictly decreasing along orbits outside the chain-recurrent set. In this paper we show that we…
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…
We consider one-dimensional quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators with analytic potentials. In the positive Lyapunov exponent regime, we prove large deviation estimates which lead to optimal H\"older continuity of the Lyapunov exponents…
In this paper, we present a class of random Schr\"odinger cocycles showing that, for random cocycles with non-compact support, the presence of certain finite moment conditions is essential for establishing a specific modulus of continuity…
Given a linear cocycle over an ergodic homeomorphism on a compact metric space, we show that the existence of a uniform gap between the $p$-th and $(p+1)$-th Lyapunov exponent on a $C^0$-neighbourhood implies the existence of a dominated…
We establish the existence of a full spectrum of Lyapunov exponents for memoryless random dynamical systems with absorption. To this end, we crucially embed the process conditioned to never being absorbed, the $Q$-process, into the…
We consider cocycles of isometries on spaces of nonpositive curvature $H$. We show that the supremum of the drift over all invariant ergodic probability measures equals the infimum of the displacements of continuous sections under the…
It is given notions of singular hyperbolicity and sectional Lyapunov exponents of orders beyond the classical ones, namely, other dimensions besides the dimension 2 and the full dimension of the central subbundle of the singular hyperbolic…
We prove that the Lyapunov exponents, cosidered as functions of measures with non compact support, are semicontinuous with respect to the Wasserstein topology but not with respect to the weak* topology. Moreover, we prove that they are not…
The Lyapunov spectrum describes the exponential growth, or decay, of infinitesimal phase-space perturbations. The perturbation associated with the maximum Lyapunov exponent is strongly localized in space, and only a small fraction of all…
We exhibit an explicit sufficient condition for the Lyapunov exponents of a linear cocycle over a Markov map to have multiplicity 1. This builds on work of Guivarc'h-Raugi and Gol'dsheid-Margulis, who considered products of random matrices,…
In this paper we prove the continuity of all Lyapunov exponents, as well as the continuity of the Oseledets decomposition, for a class of irreducible cocycles over strongly mixing Markov shifts. Moreover, gaps in the Lyapunov spectrum lead…
We show that for any positive integer $d$, there are families of switched linear systems---in fixed dimension and defined by two matrices only---that are stable under arbitrary switching but do not admit (i) a polynomial Lyapunov function…
We provide several characterizations of convergence to unstable equilibria in nonlinear systems. Our current contribution is three-fold. First we present simple algebraic conditions for establishing local convergence of non-trivial…
We derive a criterion for the positivity of the maximal Lyapunov exponent of generic mixed random-quasiperiodic linear cocycles, a model introduced in a previous work. This result is applicable to cocycles corresponding to Schr\"odinger…

We provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…
