Abstract:
The chapter focuses on theorems that prove the existence of chaotic behaviour in some systems or give indices that prove exponential decay, which is one of the properties of chaos (the sensitive dependence on initial conditions). Melnikov's theorem is the first theorem that proves the existence of chaotic behaviour. It is an analytical method and applies to perturbed two-dimensional systems in which the perturbation depends periodically on time. Next, we will develop Lyapunov exponents. It is a numerical method that shows us the system's dynamic behaviour. We will close the chapter with the Smallest Alignment Index (SALI) and Generalized Alignment Index (GALI) methods. These numerical methods show whether the trajectories are regular or chaotic.
