63 CHAPTER 4 LYAPUNOV EXPONENT
64
4.1 Introduction
Convincing evidence for deterministic chaos has come from a
variety of recent experiments on dissipative nonlinear systems[1-24] ;
therefore , the question of detecting and quantifying chaos has become an
important one . The spectrum of Lyapunov exponents has proven to be
the most useful dynamical diagnostic for chaotic system. Lyapunov
exponents are the average exponential rates of divergence or
convergence of nearby orbits in phase space[25-31]. Since nearby orbits
corresponds to nearly identical states, exponential orbital divergence
means that systems whose initial differences is not possible to resolve
will soon behave quite differently and predictive ability will be rapidly
lost. Any system containing atleast one positive Lyapunov exponents is
defined to be chaotic , with the magnitude of the exponent reflecting the
time scale on which system dynamics become unpredictable[32-37].
For systems whose equations of motion are explicitly known there
is a straightforward technique for computing a complete Lyapunov
exponent spectrum. This method cannot be applied directly to experimental
data. A technique is described which for the first time yields estimates of
the non-negative Lyapunov exponent from the finite amounts of
experimental data[38-42].
It is known that a system‟s behavior is chaotic if its average
Lyapunov exponent is a positive number. In this study, we will describe
the calculation of the Lyapunov exponent from a one dimensional time-
series data . The series x(t0) ,x(t1) ,x(t2),……………. is leveled as x0 ,x1 ,x2
,…… For the sake of simplicity, it is assumed, as is usually the case, that
the time intervals between samples can be written as
65
tn – t0 = nτ (4.1)
where τ is the time interval between samples . If the system is behaving
chaotically , the divergence of nearby trajectories will manifest itself in
the following way :
If some value is selected from the sequences of x‟s , say xi , and
then search the sequence for another x value , say , xj , that is close to xj
, then the sequence of differences given by
d0 = ijxx
d1 = 11 ijxx
d2 = 22 ijxx (4.2)
dn = ninjxx
is assumed to increase exponentially, at least on the average, as n
increases. More formally, it is assumed that
dn = d0eλn
(4.3)
or , after taking logarithms
λ = (4.4)
In practice, we take eq.(4) as the definition of the Lyapunov exponent
λ. If λ is positive, the behavior is chaotic.
In this method of finding λ , the location of two nearby trajectory
points in state space is considered and then following the differences

between the two trajectories that follow each of these “initial” points the
divergence is determined. Consider two points in a space, x0 and x0 + Δx0 ,
each of which will generate an orbit in that space using some equation or
system of equations. These orbits can be thought of as parametric functions of
a variable that is something like time. If one of the orbits is considered as a
reference orbit, then the separation between the two orbits will also be a
function of time. Because sensitive dependence can arise only in some portions
of a system, this separation is also a function of the location of the initial value
and has the form Δx (x0, t). In a system with attracting fixed points or
attracting periodic points, Δx(x0, t) diminishes asymptotically with time. If a
system is unstable, like pins balanced on their points, then the orbits diverge
exponentially for a while, but eventually settle down. For chaotic points, the
function Δx(x0, t) will behave erratically.
It is thus useful to study the mean exponential rate of divergence of two
initially close orbits using the formula
λ = Limt

The number "λ", called the Lyapunov exponent is useful for
distinguishing among the various types of orbits. It works for discrete as well
as continuous systems. The following cases are possible:
λ < 0 : The orbit attracts to a stable fixed point or stable periodic orbit.
Negative Lyapunov exponents are characteristic of dissipative or non-
conservative systems (the damped harmonic oscillator for instance). Such
systems exhibit asymptotic stability; the more negative the exponent, the
greater the stability. Superstable fixed points and superstable periodic points
have a Lyapunov exponent of λ = −∞. This is something akin to a critically
00
X
67
damped oscillator in that the system heads towards its equilibrium point as
quickly as possible.
λ = 0: The orbit is a neutral fixed point (or an eventually fixed point). A
Lyapunov exponent of zero indicates that the system is in some sort of steady
state mode. A physical system with this exponent is conservative. Such
systems exhibit Lyapunov stability. The orbits in this situation would maintain
a constant separation, like two flecks of dust fixed in place on a rotating
record.
λ > 0: The orbit is unstable and chaotic. Nearby points, no matter how close,
shall diverge to any arbitrary separation. All neighborhoods in the phase space
will eventually be visited. These points are said to be unstable. For a discrete
system, the orbits will look like snow on a television set. This does not
preclude any organization as a pattern may emerge. A physical example can be
found in Brownian motion. Although the system is deterministic, there is no
order to the orbit that ensues.
The Lyapunov exponent can also be found using the formula
λ = limN

(4.6)
This number can be calculated to a reasonable degree of accuracy by
choosing a suitably large "N".
As the Lyapunov exponent measures the rate of divergence or
convergence of two nearby initial points of a dynamical system. In other
words, A Lyapunov exponent is a measure of the rate of attraction to and
repulsion from a fixed point in state space. Lyapunov exponent tell us the rate
of divergence of nearby trajectories – a key component of chaotic dynamics. It
68
gives the average exponential rate of divergence or convergence of the nearby
orbits in the phase space. Because the presence of a positive Lyapunov
exponent implies the divergence of the nearby trajectories, a system having at
least one positive Lyapunov exponent is often considered to be chaotic.
As linear methods interpret all regular structure in a data set, such as a
dominant frequency, through linear correlations, this means, in brief, that the
intrinsic dynamics of the system are governed by the linear paradigm that
small causes lead to small effects. Since linear equations can only lead to
exponentially decaying (or growing) or (damped) periodically oscillating
solutions, all irregular behavior of the system has to be attributed to some
random external input to the system. But results of chaos theory has proved
that random input is not the only possible source of irregularity in a system's
output: nonlinear, chaotic systems can produce very irregular data with purely
deterministic equations of motion in an autonomous way, i.e., without time
dependent inputs. Of course, a system which has both, nonlinearity and
random input, will most likely produce irregular data as well. Lyapunov
exponent can be used as a diagnostic tool to distinguish chaotic data from a
random one.

4.3 Discussion
Time series data for different indices were studied using Lyapunov
exponent method. The outcome of the study is as follows : The Lyapunov
eExponent for Values of NIKKI trading volume is found to be positive for the
data studied, confirming the presence of chaos for the period under study. It
shows the divergent behavior of trajectory whereas the Lyapunov exponent for
NIKKI Adjusted Closing value is negative for the data studied confirming the
absence of chaos for the period under study. It shows the convergent behavior
of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for Values of TWII volume and
Adjusted Closing value is found to be negative for the data studied confirming
the absence of chaos for the period under study showing the convergent
behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for STI adjusted Closing value
is found to be negative for the data studied confirming the absence of chaos for
the period under study. It shows the convergent behavior of trajectory. The
Lyapunov exponent for SEOUL trading volume is found to be negative for the
data studied confirming the absence of chaos for the period under study. It
shows the convergent behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent DAX
volume and adjusted closing values is found to be negative for the data studied
confirming the absence of chaos for the period under study. It shows the
convergent behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for DJIA Volume
and Adjusted Closing value is found to be negative for the data studied
confirming the absence of chaos for the period under study. It shows the
convergent behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for S&P Volume
and Adjusted Closing value is found to be negative for the data studied
confirming the absence of chaos for the period under study. It shows the
convergent behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for NASDAQ
Volume and Adjusted Closing value is found to be negative for the data
studied confirming the absence of chaos for the period under study. It shows
the convergent behavior of trajectory. The Lyapunov exponent for P/E value of
NIFTY is found to be negative for the data studied confirming the absence of
chaos for the period under study. It shows the convergent behavior of
trajectory.
