Abstract: We propose new methods to numerically approximate non-attracting sets governing transiently-chaotic systems. Trajectories starting in a vicinity $Omega$ of these sets escape $Omega$ in a finite time $au$ and the problem is to find initial conditions $$ with increasingly large $$. We search points $$ with $$ in a {it search domain} in $Omega$. Our first method considers a search domain with size that decreases exponentially in $au$, with an exponent proportional to the largest Lyapunov exponent $lambd{a}_1$. Our second method considers anisotropic search domains in the {it tangent} unstable manifold, where each direction scale as the inverse of the corresponding {it expanding} singular value of the Jacobian matrix of the iterated map. We show that both methods outperform the state-of-the-art {it Stagger-and-Step} method (Sweet, Nusse, and York, Phys. Rev. Lett. {�f 86}, 2261, 2001) but that only the anisotropic method achieves an efficiency independent of $au$ for the case of high-dimensional systems with multiple positive Lyapunov exponents. We perform simulations in a chain of coupled H'enon maps in up to 24 dimensions ($12$ positive Lyapunov exponents). This suggests the possibility of characterizing also non-attracting sets in spatio-temporal systems.
