Lyapunov Exponents And Smooth Ergodic Theory

Download or read book Lyapunov Exponents and Smooth Ergodic Theory written by Luis Barreira and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2002 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A systematic introduction to the core of smooth ergodic theory. An expanded version of an earlier work by the same authors, it describes the general (abstract) theory of Lyapunov exponents and the theory's applications to the stability theory of differential equations, the stable manifold theory, absolute continuity of stable manifolds, and the ergodic theory of dynamical systems with nonzero Lyapunov exponents (including geodesic flows). It could be used as a primary text for a course on nonuniform hyperbolic theory or as supplemental reading for a course on dynamical systems. Assumes a basic knowledge of real analysis, measure theory, differential equations, and topology. c. Book News Inc.
