Phase transitions and critical phenomena
Abstract:
We argue that the alignment of Lyapunov vectors provides a quantitative criterion to predict catastrophes, i.e. the imminence of large-amplitude events in chaotic time-series of observables generated by sets of ordinary differential equations. Explicit predictions are reported for a Rossler oscillator and for a semiconductor laser with optoelectronic feedback.
