Comparison of algorithms for determining Lyapunov exponents from experimental data

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7231583
Two methods for estimating the Lyapunov exponents of attractors reconstructed from a time series are compared. A method due to Wolf et al. for computing the largest Lyapunov exponent lambda/sub 1/ is found to be robust with reasonable changes in input parameters. In contrast, a least-squares method suggested by Eckmann and ruelle yields estimates for the Lyapunov exponents that vary considerably depending on the embedding dimension of the attractor. It appears that only the Wolf algorithm is suitable for the analysis of experimental data. 8 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
