The Lyapunov dimension is a dimension estimate associated with the growth rates of infinitesimal perturbations in a dynamical system .
A common asymptotic convention uses the Kaplan-Yorke
dimension of the ordered Lyapunov
characteristic exponents . For a two-dimensional map with
and , this gives
Finite-time local versions instead apply the same interpolation to the logarithms of the singular values of the derivative of the
time map (Kuznetsov 2016). A local dimension computed in this way need not equal
the Hausdorff dimension of an invariant set .
