Abstract
We find analytic upper and lower bounds of the Lyapunov exponents of the product of random matrices related to the one-dimensional disordered Ising model, using a deterministic map which transforms the original system into a new one with smaller average couplings and magnetic fields. The iteration of the map gives bounds which estimate the Lyapunov exponents with increasing accuracy. We prove, in fact, that both the upper and the lower bounds converge to the Lyapunov exponents in the limit of infinite iterations of the map. A formal expression of the Lyapunov exponents is thus obtained in terms of the limit of a sequence. Our results allow us to introduce a new numerical procedure for the computation of the Lyapunov exponents which has a precision higher than Monte Carlo simulations.
