Name

orbdim - compute dimensionaly of phase space for an orbit

Synopsis

orbdim in=orbit [parameter=value]

Description

orbdim computes the dimensionalty of phase space for an orbit. It uses the method described by Carnevalli and Santangelo.

Other methods, such as SALI (see Manos & Athanassoula), exist.

orbdim needs a lot of data before the exponent can be reliably determined. In practice a 3 dimensional orbit is excluded from this analysis. It can be done with 2 dimensional orbits though.

Parameters

The following parameters are recognized in any order if the keyword is also given:
in=in-file
input file, in orbit(5NEMO) format [no default]

Bugs

I need to finish the documentation
