Abstrakt

The Liapunov characteristic numbers (LCN) and the higher moments of the

distribution of the local variations of the tangent vectors to the flow

were used to characterize chaos. It is shown that in a regular zone with

initial distances between 0.1 and 0.25 the modal value of each

distribution is to be found in different intervals of the x-axis and the

shape of the distribution changes when the initial distance increases.
