Characteristic times in the standard map
Characteristic times in the standard map
We study and compare three characteristic times of the standard map: the Lyapunov time ${t}_{L}$, the Poincar\'e recurrence time ${t}_{r}$, and the stickiness (or escape) time ${t}_{st}$. The Lyapunov time is the inverse of the Lyapunov characteristic number ($L$) and in general is quite small. We find empirical relations for …
