Recently, a new algorithm for the computation of covariant Lyapunov vectors and of corresponding local Lyapunov exponents has become available. Here we study the properties of these still unfamiliar quantities for a simple model representing a harmonic oscillator coupled to a thermal gradient with a two-stage thermostat, which leaves the system ergodic and fully time reversible. We explicitly demonstrate how time-reversal invariance affects the perturbation vectors in tangent space and the…

Symmetry properties of orthogonal and covariant Lyapunov vectors and their exponents
Lyapunov exponents are indicators for the chaotic properties of a classical dynamical system. They are most naturally defined in terms of the time evolution of a set of so-called covariant vectors,…
Local Gram–Schmidt and covariant Lyapunov vectors and exponents for three harmonic oscillator problems
We compare the Gram–Schmidt and covariant phase-space-basis-vector descriptions for three time-reversible harmonic oscillator problems, in two, three, and four phase-space dimensions respectively.…

We explore a simple example of a chaotic thermostated harmonic-oscillator system which exhibits qualitatively different local Lyapunov exponents for simple scale-model constant-volume transformations…
Covariant Lyapunov vectors
Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in covariant Lyapunov vectors (CLVs) which span local intrinsic directions in the phase space of chaotic systems. Here, we review the basic results of…

What is liquid? Lyapunov instability reveals symmetry-breaking irreversibilities hidden within Hamilton's many-body equations of motion
Typical Hamiltonian liquids display exponential "Lyapunov instability", also called "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". Although Hamilton's equations are thoroughly time-reversible, the…

The periodic Schur decomposition is incorporated to the computation of dynamical Floquet vectors, compared with other methods, and it is shown that the method can yield the full Floquet spectrum of a periodic orbit at every point along the orbit to high accuracy.

TLDR
This work performs a detailed study of the scaling properties of Lyapunov vectors for two different one-dimensional Hamiltonian lattices: the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam and Φ^{4} models and calculates characteristic LVs in large systems thanks to a "bit reversible" algorithm, which completely obviates computer memory limitations.
