Abstract:
The largest Lyapunov exponent is an important invariant of detecting and characterizing chaos produced from a dynamical system. We have found analytically that the largest Lyapunov exponent of the small-scale wavelet transform modulus of a dynamical system is the same as the system's largest Lyapunov exponent, both discrete map and continuous chaotic attractor with one or two positive Lyapunov exponents. This property has been used to estimate the largest Lyapunov exponent of chaotic time series with several kinds of strong additive noise.
