Statement of The Theorem
Let μ be an invariant measure on X and C a cocycle of the dynamical system such that for each t∈T, the maps and are L1-integrable with respect to μ. Then for μ-almost all x and each non-zero vector u∈Rn the limit
exists and assumes, depending on u but not on x, up to n different values. These are the Lyapunov exponents.
Further, if λ1 > ... > λm are the different limits then there are subspaces Rn = R1 ⊃ ... ⊃ Rm ⊃ Rm+1 = {0} such that the limit is λi for u∈ Ri\Ri+1 and i = 1, ..., m.
The values of the Lyapunov exponents are invariant with respect to a wide range of coordinate transformations. Suppose that g : X → X is a one-to-one map such that and its inverse exist then the values of the Lyapunov exponents do not change.

Famous quotes containing the words statement of the, statement of, statement and/or theorem:
“It is commonplace that a problem stated is well on its way to solution, for statement of the nature of a problem signifies that the underlying quality is being transformed into determinate distinctions of terms and relations or has become an object of articulate thought.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Eloquence must be grounded on the plainest narrative. Afterwards, it may warm itself until it exhales symbols of every kind and color, speaks only through the most poetic forms; but first and last, it must still be at bottom a biblical statement of fact.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
—Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)
“To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
