Definition

\[ \begin{aligned} x' &= - y + \left|{x}\right| + 1 \\ y' &= x \end{aligned} \]

Properties

Lyapunov spectrum
TODO — lyapunov_spectrum failed: AttributeError
Kaplan–Yorke dimension
TODO — requires a numeric Lyapunov spectrum
Divergence ∇·f
n/a — discrete map — flow divergence undefined (per-step contraction is |det J|)
Equilibria
1 fixed points
0 stable · 1 unstable

Use it in TSDynamics

import tsdynamics as ts

system = ts.systems.Gingerbreadman()
traj = system.run(steps=10_000)
ts.plot(traj)

spectrum = ts.analysis.lyapunov_spectrum(system)
ts.analysis.kaplan_yorke_dimension(spectrum)
