The experimental detection of unstable periodic orbits in dynamical systems, especially those which yield short, noisy or nonstationary data sets, is a current topic of interest in many research areas. Unfortunately, for such data sets, only a few of the lowest order periods can be detected with quantifiable statistical accuracy. The primary observable is the number of encounters the general trajectory has with a particular orbit. Here we show that, in the limit of large period, this quantity scales exponentially with the period, and that this scaling is robust to dynamical noise.

In general, it can be proven that the metric entropy is at most the sum of the positive Lyapunov exponents [e.g., D. Ruelle, Chaotic Evolution and Strange Attractors (Cambridge University Press, New York, 1989)]. For a low-dimensional chaotic system with one positive Lyapunov exponent λ, we thus have The topological entropy and the metric entropy are two members of the generalized entropies which satisfy
It is also known that for a two-dimensional smooth invertible map, the Kaplan-Yorke conjecture reduces to the equality [J. L. Kaplan and J. A. Yorke, in Functional Differential Equations and Approximations of Fixed Points, edited by H.-O. Peitgen and H.-O. Walter, Lecture Notes in Mathematics Vol. 730 (Springer, Berlin, 1979)].

The dynamics is hyperbolic on a chaotic attractor if at each point of the trajectory the phase space can be split into an expanding and a contracting subspace, and the angle between them is bounded away from zero. Furthermore, the expanding subspace evolves into the expanding one along the trajectory and the same is true for the contracting subspace. Otherwise the set is nonhyperbolic (Ref. 39).
