Lyapunov exponents are indicators for the chaotic properties of a classical dynamical system. They are most naturally defined in terms of the time evolution of a set of so-called covariant vectors, co-moving with the linearized flow in…

Polyhedral Lyapunov functions can approximate any norm arbitrarily well. Because of this, they are used to study the stability of linear time varying and linear parameter varying systems without being conservative. However, the…
We define a family of maps on lattice paths, called sweep maps, that assign levels to each step in the path and sort steps according to their level. Surprisingly, although sweep maps act by sorting, they appear to be bijective in general.…
Depending on initial conditions, individual finite time trajectories of dynamical systems can have very different chaotic properties. Here we present a numerical method to identify trajectories with atypical chaoticity, pathways that are…
We define a generalization of Chacon's classical automorphism and answer the question of whether its important properties remain. We calculate the family of polynimials representing the automorphism, given in recurrence formulae, and infer…

Chaos is popularly associated with its property of sensitivity to initial conditions. In this paper we will show that there can be a flip side to this property which is quite fascinating and highly useful in many applications. As a result,…
