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]

Ci

A number of Chaos Indicators (CI) are listed by Carpinetro et al: 
LIs: Lyapunov Indicators (there are several)
MEGNO: Mean Exponential Growth factor of Nearby Orbits 
SElLCE: Slope Estimation of the largest Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent

SALI: Smaller ALignment Index 
GALI: Generalized ALignment Index 
FLI: Fast Lyapunov Indicator 
OFLI: Orthogonal Fast Lyapunov Indicator 
SD: Spectral Distance
SSNs: dynamical Spectra of Stretching Numbers 
RLI: Relative Lyapunov Indicator
