Computation of Lyapunov exponents of linear systems: overview and algorithms

Prof. Luca Diegi, School of Mathematics, Georgia Tech; currently at the University of Florence

The definition of Lyapunov exponents and their meaning will be recalled. Basic techniques used to approximate Lyapunov exponents of linear systems will be reviewed. Particular attention will be paid to techniques based on the QR decomposition of the matrix solution, and some new algorithms for computing this decomposition will be given.
