In this paper we study the parabolic Anderson equation \partial u(x,t)/\partial t=\kappa\Delta u(x,t)+\xi(x,t)u(x,t), x\in\Z^d, t\geq 0, where the u-field and the \xi-field are \R-valued, \kappa \in [0,\infty) is the diffusion constant, and…
The Lyapunov exponent is well-known in deterministic dynamical systems as a measure for quantifying chaos and detecting coherent regions in physically evolving systems. In this Letter, we show how the Lyapunov exponent can be unified with…
