Lyapunov analysis captures the collective dynamics of large chaotic systems (2009)

Takeuchi, Kazumasa A., Ginelli, Francesco, Chaté, Hugues

We show, using generic globally-coupled systems, that the collective dynamics of large chaotic systems is encoded in their Lyapunov spectra: most modes are typically localized on a few degrees of...
