We investigate the predictability problem in dynamical systems with many degrees of freedom and a wide spectrum of temporal scales. In particular, we study the case of $3D$ turbulence at high Reynolds numbers by introducing a finite-size Lyapunov exponent which measures the growth rate of finite-size perturbations. For sufficiently small perturbations this quantity coincides with the usual Lyapunov exponent. When the perturbation is still small compared to large-scale fluctuations, but large compared to fluctuations at the smallest dynamically active scales, the finite-size Lyapunov exponent is inversely proportional to the square of the perturbation size. Our results are supported by numerical experiments on shell models. We find that intermittency corrections do not change the scaling law of predictability. We also discuss the relation between finite-size Lyapunov exponent and information entropy.

The well-known Vicsek model describes the dynamics of a flock of self-propelled particles (SPPs). Surprisingly, there is no direct measure of the chaotic behavior of such systems. Here, we discuss the dynamical phase transition present in Vicsek syst ems in light of the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), which is numerically computed by following the dynamical evolution in tangent space for up to one million SPPs. As discontinuities in the neighbor weighting factor hinder the computations, we propose a smooth form of the Vicsek model. We find that there is chaotic behavior in the disordered phase, which supports the claim that the LLE can be useful as an indicator of phase transitions even for this out-of-equilibrium system.

We report a numerical investigation of the fluctuations of the Lyapunov exponent of a two dimensional non-interacting disordered system. While the ratio of the mean to the variance of the Lyapunov exponent is not constant, as it is in one dimension, its variation is consistent with the single parameter scaling hypothesis.
The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation is a prototypical chaotic nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) in which the size of the spatial domain plays the role of a bifurcation parameter. We investigate the changing dynamics of the Kuramoto-Sivashin sky PDE by calculating the Lyapunov spectra over a large range of domain sizes. Our comprehensive computation and analysis of the Lyapunov exponents and the associated Kaplan-Yorke dimension provides new insights into the chaotic dynamics of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky PDE, and the transition to its 1D turbulence.
We show that enhanced wavefunction localization due to the presence of short unstable orbits and strong scarring can rely on completely different mechanisms. Specifically we find that in quantum networks the shortest and most stable orbits do not sup port visible scars, although they are responsible for enhanced localization in the majority of the eigenstates. Scarring orbits are selected by a criterion which does not involve the classical Lyapunov exponent. We obtain predictions for the energies of visible scars and the distributions of scarring strengths and inverse participation ratios.

I present a general framework allowing to carry out explicit calculation of the moment generating function of random matrix products $Pi_n=M_nM_{n-1}cdots M_1$, where $M_i$s are i.i.d.. Following Tutubalin [Theor. Probab. Appl. {bf 10}, 15 (1965)], t he calculation of the generating function is reduced to finding the largest eigenvalue of a certain transfer operator associated with a family of representations of the group. The formalism is illustrated by considering products of random matrices from the group $mathrm{SL}(2,mathbb{R})$ where explicit calculations are possible. For concreteness, I study in detail transfer matrix products for the one-dimensional Schrodinger equation where the random potential is a Levy noise (derivative of a Levy process). In this case, I obtain a general formula for the variance of $ln||Pi_n||$ and for the variance of $ln|psi(x)|$, where $psi(x)$ is the wavefunction, in terms of a single integral involving the Fourier transform of the invariant density of the matrix product. Finally I discuss the continuum limit of random matrix products (matrices close to the identity ). In particular, I investigate a simple case where the spectral problem providing the generalized Lyapunov exponent can be solved exactly.
