Lyapunov time - Wikipedia Jump to content From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Timescale of dynamical systems In mathematics , the Lyapunov time is the characteristic timescale on which a dynamical system is chaotic . It is named after the Russian mathematician Aleksandr Lyapunov . It is defined as the inverse of a system's largest Lyapunov exponent . [ 1 ] Use [ edit ] The Lyapunov time mirrors the limits of the predictability of the system. By convention, it is defined as the time for the distance between nearby trajectories of the system to increase by a factor of e . However, measures in
