Sommario

Questo articolo, insieme con il precedente (Parte 1: Teoria, pubblicato in questa stessa rivista) è inteso a fornire un metodo esplicito per il calcolo di tutti gli esponenti caratteristici di Lvapunov per un sistema dinamico. Dopo la teoria generale su tali esponenti sviluppata nella prima parte, qui si illustra il metodo di calcolo (Capitolo A) e si danno esempi numerici per applicazioni di varietà in sè e per sistemi Hamiltoniani (Capitolo B).

Summary

The present paper, together with the previous one (Part 1: Theory, published in this journal) is intended to give an explicit method for computing all Lyapunov Characteristic Exponents of a dynamical system. After the general theory on such exponents developed in the first part, in the present paper the computational method is described (Chapter A) and some numerical examples for mappings on manifolds and for Hamiltonian systems are given (Chapter B).
