Comparison between covariant and orthogonal Lyapunov vectors

Abstract: Two sets of vectors, covariant Lyapunov vectors (CLVs) and orthogonal Lyapunov vectors (OLVs), are currently used to characterize the linear stability of chaotic systems. A comparison is made to show their similarity and difference, especially with respect to the influence on hydrodynamic Lyapunov modes (HLMs). Our numerical simulations show that in both Hamiltonian and dissipative systems HLMs formerly detected via OLVs survive if CLVs are used instead. Moreover, the previous classification of two universalit… Show more

“…This does not apply to the GS-exponents which suffer from the additional constraint of orthogonality. It has been shown recently by Yang and Radons that covariant vectors may be easily transformed from one coordinate system to another, and the same is true for the covariant finite-time and local Lyapunov exponents [4] We shall demonstrate this property for the chaotic pendulum below by transforming from the Cartesian representation to a polar coordinate system.…”
