Nonlinear dynamics

the average exponential rate at which nearby trajectories of a dynamical system separate, with positive values signaling chaos.

In nonlinear dynamics, Lyapunov exponent refers to the average exponential rate at which nearby trajectories of a dynamical system separate, with positive values signaling chaos. This meaning comes from Wolf (1985) in Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena.[1]
