Given a discrete-time random dynamical system represented by a cocycle of non-singular measurable maps, we may obtain information on dynamical quantities by studying the cocycle of Perron-Frobenius operators associated to the maps. Of…
We establish (i) stability of Lyapunov exponents and (ii) convergence in probability of Oseledets spaces for semi-invertible matrix cocycles, subjected to small random perturbations. The first part extends results of Ledrappier and Young to…
The dependence of the Lyapunov exponent on the closeness parameter, $\epsilon$, in tangent bifurcation systems is investigated. We study and illustrate two averaging procedures for defining Lyapunov exponents in such systems. First, we…
We explore the concept of metastability in random dynamical systems, focussing on connections between random Perron-Frobenius operator cocycles and escape rates of random maps, and on topological entropy of random shifts of finite type. The…
The Lyapunov exponents of locally constant GL(2;C)-cocycles over Bernoulli shifts depend continuously on the cocycle and on the invariant probability. The Oseledets decomposition also depends continuously on the cocycle, in measure.
We analytically establish the role of a spectrum of Lyapunov exponents in the evolution of phase-space distributions $\rho(p,q)$. Of particular interest is $\lambda_2$, an exponent which quantifies the rate at which chaotically evolving…
Consider the space of two dimensional random linear cocycles over a shift in finitely many symbols, with at least one singular and one invertible matrix. We provide an explicit formula for the unique stationary measure associated to such…
We study the fiber Lyapunov exponents of step skew-product maps over a complete shift of $N$, $N\ge2$, symbols and with $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of the circle as fiber maps. The systems we study are transitive and genuinely nonhyperbolic,…
The Lyapunov exponents of GL(2)-cocycles over Markov shifts depend continuously on the underlying data, that is, on the matrix coefficients and the Markov measure transition probabilities.
We consider skew tent maps $T_{{\alpha}, {\beta}}(x)$ such that $( {\alpha}, {\beta})\in[0,1]^{2}$ is the turning point of $T {_ { {\alpha}, {\beta}}}$, that is, $T_{{\alpha}, {\beta}}=\frac{{\beta}}{{\alpha}}x$ for $0\leq x \leq {\alpha}$…
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…
We carry out extensive computer simulations to study the Lyapunov instability of a two-dimensional hard disk system in a rectangular box with periodic boundary conditions. The system is large enough to allow the formation of Lyapunov modes…
This paper is concerned with the Lyapunov spectrum for measurable cocycles over an ergodic pmp system taking values in semi-simple real Lie groups. We prove simplicity of the Lyapunov spectrum and its continuity under certain perturbations…
We explicitly compute the maximal Lyapunov exponent for a switched system on $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$. This computation is reduced to the characterization of optimal trajectories for an optimal control problem on the Lie group.
We show that the top Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_+(p)$ , $p = (p_1, \cdots, p_N)$ with $p_i >0$ for each $i$, associated with a random product of quasi-periodic cocycles depends real analytically on the transition probabilities $p$ whenever…
A random phase property establishing a link between quasi-one-dimensional random Schroedinger operators and full random matrix theory is advocated. Briefly summarized it states that the random transfer matrices placed into a normal system…
The paper is devoted to the properties of a complex matrix ``twisted,'' otherwise called ``spectral,'' cocycle, associated with substitution dynamical systems. Following a recent finding of Rajabzadeh and Safaee [arXiv:2501.16824] of an…
