The paper provides a new integral formula for the largest Lyapunov exponent of Gaussian matrices, which is valid in the real, complex and quaternion-valued cases. This formula is applied to derive asymptotic expressions for the largest…
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 consider open billiards in the plane satisfying the no-eclipse condition. We show that the points in the non-wandering set depend differentiably on deformations to the boundary of the billiard. We use Bowen's equation to estimate the…
The Lyapunov exponent is used to characterize the stability of the dynamic response of the system, and it is often employed to verify if a system is chaotic. Since its discovery in the nineteenth century, various methods have been proposed…
A general indicator of the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is the largest Lyapunov exponent. This quantity provides a measure of the mean exponential rate of divergence of nearby orbits. In this paper, we show that the so-called…
We show that Lyapunov exponent for the Sinai billiard is $\lambda = -2\log(R)+C+O(R\log^2 R)$ with $C=1-4\log 2+27/(2\pi^2)\cdot \zeta(3)$ where $R$ is the radius of the circular scatterer. We consider the disk-to-disk-map of the standard…

We consider classical billiards on surfaces of constant curvature, where the charged billiard ball is exposed to a homogeneous, stationary magnetic field perpendicular to the surface. We establish sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity of…
We calculate analytically the largest Lyapunov exponent of the so-called $\alpha XY$ Hamiltonian in the high energy regime. This system consists of a $d$-dimensional lattice of classical spins with interactions that decay with distance…
It is well-known that the Lyapunov exponent plays a fundamental role in dynamical systems. In this note, we propose an alternative definition of Lyapunov exponent in terms of Lipschitz maps, which are not necessarily differentiable. We show…
We prove differentiability of certain linear combinations of the Lyapunov spectra of a flow on a principal bundle of a semi-simple Lie group. The specific linear combinations that yield differentiability are determined by the finest Morse…
