Numerical solution of classical kicked rotor and local Lyapunov exponents

  • 1. Physics Department, University of North Texas, Denton, TX 76203-1427 (United States)

Description

We calculate a local Lyapunov exponent for the kicked rotor that is constant for a duration that depends on the initial separation between two trajectories, but then decreases asymptotically as O(t-1lnt). This behavior is consistent with an upper bound that is determined analytically
