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)
“I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“He has the common feeling of his profession. He enjoys a statement twice as much if it appears in fine print, and anything that turns up in a footnote ... takes on the character of divine revelation.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“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)
