It is well known that, for chaotic systems, the production of relevant entropy (Boltzmann-Gibbs) is always linear and the system has strong (exponential) sensitivity to initial conditions. In recent years, various numerical results indicate…

We introduce a new class of quadratic functions based on a hierarchy of linear time-varying (LTV) dynamical systems. These quadratic functions in the higher order space can be also seen as a non-homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for…
