Lyapunov exponent spectrum

In the region of state space near a strange attractor there must be a number of processes: strong attraction to the attractor; exponential divergence on the attractor (given by a Lyapunov exponent); and the overall cycling around the attractor.
All these separate processes are quantified by the
spectrum of Lyapunov exponents---they refer to the dynamics of the chaos.
