Description for Lyapunov Exponents: A Tool to Explore Complex Dynamics
hardcover. A comprehensive description of the Lyapunov exponent tools from basic to advanced levels, with practical applications for complex systems. Num Pages: 330 pages, 80 b/w illus. 3 tables. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 246 x 189. .
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. Beginning with the basic properties and numerical methods, it then guides readers through to the most recent advances in applications to complex systems. Practical algorithms are thoroughly reviewed and their performance is discussed, while a broad set of examples illustrate the wide range of potential applications. The description of various numerical and analytical techniques for the computation of Lyapunov exponents offers an extensive array of tools for ... Read more

Reviews for Lyapunov Exponents: A Tool to Explore Complex Dynamics
'... it should be required reading for anyone seriously engaged in the quantitative analysis of the dynamics of complex systems.' Robert C. Hilborn, Physics Today 'This book is written for mainly a physics audience but mathematicians may find inspiration seeing how to deal with Lyapunov exponents in practice. The book gives a very comprehensive overview of the currently available tools ... Read more
