Using Largest Lyapunov Exponent to Confirm the Intrinsic Stability of Boiling Water Reactors

The aim of this paper is the study of instability state of boiling water reactors with a method based in largest Lyapunov exponents (LLEs). Detecting the presence of chaos in a dynamical system is an important problem that is solved by measuring the LLE. Lyapunov exponents quantify the exponential d...
