Lyapunov Exponents: A Tool to Explore Complex Dynamics

by Arkady Pikovsky and Antonio Politi

Book Overview

Lyapunov exponents lie at the heart of chaos theory, and are widely used in studies of complex dynamics. Utilising a pragmatic, physical approach, this self-contained book provides a comprehensive description of the concept.
