Lyapunov exponent spectrum for a generalized coupled map lattice (Q1193674)

Let define a ``Generalized Coupled Map Lattice'' as the system defined by the equation \[ X_{n+1}=A(n)f(X_ n)=F(X_ n) \] where \(X\) is a vector in \(\mathbb{R}^ N\), \(f\) a smooth diagonal map from \(\mathbb{R}^ N\) in itself and \(A\) an \(N\times N\) matrix. This paper contains the results of numerical simulations for the computation of the Lyapunov exponents (if any !!!) of such a system in the particular case: \[ \begin{cases} F_ i(x) & = (1-\varepsilon)u(x_ i)+{\varepsilon\over 2}(u(x_{i+1})+u(x_{i- 1}))\\ u(t) & = at(1-t).\end{cases} \] Some graphs are plotted for different values of the parameters \(\varepsilon\) and \(a\).
