Abstract
In this paper, the concept of Lyapunov exponent is generalized to random transformations that are not necessarily differentiable. For a class of random repellers and of random hyperbolic sets obtained via small perturbations of deterministic ones respectively, the new exponents are shown to coincide with the classical ones.
