We construct a continuous linear cocycle over an expanding base dynamics for which the Lyapunov exponents of all ergodic invariant probability measures are small, except for one measure whose Lyapunov exponents are away from zero. The…
Period doubling H\'enon renormalization of strongly dissipative maps is generalized in arbitrary finite dimension. In particular, a small perturbation of toy model maps with dominated splitting has invariant $C^r$ surfaces embedded in…

Reactivity, contractivity, and Lyapunov exponents are powerful tools for studying the stability properties of dynamical systems and have been extensively investigated in the literature for decades. In this paper, we review and extend the…

We provide a counterexample to the Lagrangian Poincar\'e recurrence conjecture of Ginzburg and Viterbo in all dimensions $6$ and greater.
Nadirashvili presented a beautiful example showing that the Poincar\'e recurrence does not occur near a particular solution to the 2D Euler equation of inviscid incompressible fluids. Unfortunately, Nadirashvili's setup of the phase space…
This is a survey of known results on estimating the principal Lyapunov exponent of a time-dependent linear differential equation possessing some monotonicity properties. Equations considered are mainly strongly cooperative systems of…
It is known that the Lyapunov exponent of analytic 1-frequency quasiperiodic cocycles is continuous in cocycle and, when the frequency is irrational, jointly in cocycle and frequency. In this paper, we extend a result of Bourgain to show…
We study synchronization of random one-dimensional linear maps for which the Lyapunov exponent can be calculated exactly. Certain aspects of the dynamics of these maps are explained using their relation with a random walk. We confirm that…
The Lyapunov exponents of a chaotic system quantify the exponential divergence of initially nearby trajectories. For Hamiltonian systems the exponents are related to the eigenvalues of a symplectic matrix. We make use of this fact to…
In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the relationship among uniform Lyapunov exponents, the Liouville trace formula, and adapted metrics for cocycles in Hilbert spaces. First, we prove that uniform Lyapunov exponents can be…
Two approaches are presented for computing upper bounds on Lyapunov exponents and their sums, and on the Lyapunov dimension, among all trajectories of a dynamical system governed by ordinary differential equations. The first approach…

The predictability problem for systems with different characteristic time scales is investigated. It is shown that even in simple chaotic dynamical systems, the leading Lyapunov exponent is not sufficient to estimate the predictability…
Dynamical billiards are paradigmatic examples of chaotic Hamiltonian dynamical systems with widespread applications in physics. We study how well their Lyapunov exponent, characterizing the chaotic dynamics, and its dependence on external…
The scaling behaviour of the Lyapunov exponent near the transition to chaos via type-III intermittency is determined for a generic map. A critical exponent $\beta$ expressing the scaling of the Lyapunov exponent as a function of both, the…
A recurrence equation is a discrete integrable equation whose solutions are all periodic and the period is fixed. We show that infinitely many recurrence equations can be derived from the information about invariant varieties of periodic…
For a better understanding of the chaotic behavior of systems of many moving particles it is useful to look at other systems with many degrees of freedom. An interesting example is the high-dimensional Lorentz gas, which, just like a system…
