Detailed Documentation

This MATLAB program implements the small data sets method for calculating Lyapunov exponents. The algorithm accepts initial values as input parameters and computes Lyapunov exponents across different step sizes through numerical iteration. Key functions include phase space reconstruction using time-delay embedding and nearest neighbor tracking for divergence rate calculation. The program serves as an effective tool for analyzing chaotic behavior in dynamical systems, with significant applications in scientific research and engineering domains. For enhanced accuracy, users can improve result precision by increasing data volume through extended simulation runs or parameter adjustments in the embedding dimension and time delay settings.
