Title

M14 - Lyapunov exponent λ for the r-sequence AABABAB AABABAB...

Description

Lyapunov exponent λ for the r-sequence AABABAB AABABAB ...
When λ increases from negative values to zero, color changes from black to yellow. Positive λ (chaos) are shown in blue. The dark curves within the yellow areas represent particularly stable (“superstable”) periodical processes. (Note the superstable curves in pictures M5 through M13). Superstable periodicity provides the internal clock of biological organisms with a useful insensibility against perturbations. It is interesting to note the recurring “motif” of picture M5 (top right in M14), now appearing twice and with three overlapping branches (coexistence of three attractors). Close to the center at the right margin, seven branches overlap (coexistence of seven attractors).
