Lyapunov exponents of Poisson shot-noise velocity fields

We consider the Lyapunov exponents of flows generated by a class of Markovian velocity fields. The existence of the exponents is obtained for flows on a compact set, but with the most general form of the velocity field. As a particular class, we study the homogeneous and incompressible flows. In thi...

Description
Summary:We consider the Lyapunov exponents of flows generated by a class of Markovian velocity fields. The existence of the exponents is obtained for flows on a compact set, but with the most general form of the velocity field. As a particular class, we study the homogeneous and incompressible flows. In this case, the exponents are nonrandom, free of the initial position of the particle path, and their sum is zero. We numerically compute the top Lyapunov exponent on R 2 for a range of parameters to conjecture that it is strictly positive.
