Abstract

The Morse spectrum is a limit set of Lyapunov exponents of periodic pseudo-trajectories. This notion is especially important in the case where a dynamical system has infinitely many periodic trajectories of large period. A method for estimating the Morse spectrum was suggested by the first author in J. Math. Anal. Appl., 252 (2000). This method is based on ideas of symbolic dynamics which reduces the study of a dynamical system to the study of a certain graph, called a symbolic image. Within the framework of this method, the computation of the Morse spectrum is connected with searching simple closed paths and extracting contours with suitable characteristics. However, under iterations of the symbolic image, the number of such paths sharply increases, which leads to huge expenses of memory and time. We suggest an algorithm for constructing contours with the maximal and minimal mean values. This algorithm is based on a special version of the simplex method. Numerical tests are also described. Bibliography: 13 titles. Illustrations: 3 figures.
