We present a suite of codes for approximating Lyapunov exponents of nonlinear differential systems by so-called QR methods. The basic solvers perform integration of the trajectory and approximation of the Lyapunov exponents simultaneously. That is, they integrate for the trajectory at the same time, and with the same underlying schemes, as integration for the Lyapunov exponents is carried out. Separate codes solve small systems for which we can compute and store the Jacobian matrix, and for large systems for which the Jacobian matrix cannot be stored, and it may not even be explicitly known. If it is known, the user has the option to provide its action on a vector. An alternative strategy is also presented in which one may want to approximate the trajectory with a specialized solver, linearize around the computed trajectory, and then carry out the approximation of the Lyapunov exponents using codes for linear problems.

The algorithms behind a toolbox for approximating Lyapunov exponents of nonlinear differential systems by QR methods are described. The basic solvers perform integration of the trajectory and approximation of the Lyapunov exponents simultaneously. That is, they integrate for the trajectory at the same time, and with the same underlying schemes, as is carried out for integration of the Lyapunov exponents. Separate computational procedures solve small systems for which the Jacobian matrix can be computed and stored, and for large systems for which the Jacobian cannot be stored, and may not even be explicitly known. If it is known, the user has the option to provide the action of the Jacobian on a vector. An alternative strategy is also presented in which one may want to approximate the trajectory with a specialized solver, linearize around the computed trajectory, and then carry out the approximation of the Lyapunov exponents using techniques for linear problems.

Reviewed and analyzed the issues linked with the torque and naguszewski cumulant description of random processes. It is shown that if non-Gaussian random processes are given by both instantaneous and cumulative functions, it is assumed that such processes are fully specified. Spectral characteristics of non-Gaussian random processes are considered. It is shown that higher spectral densities exist only for non-Gaussian random processes.

In this paper three theorems on the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions of the system \[ dx/dt =e(y)\]\[dy/dt =-e(y)f(x)- g(x)\] are proved, which not only generalize some known results on the existence of periodic solutions of Lienard's system (i.e. the special form for $e(y) = y$), but also relax or eliminate some traditional assumptions.

The paper deals with nonlinear differential systems with random parameters in a general form. A new method for construction of the Lyapunov functions is proposed and is used to obtain sufficient conditions forL2-stability of the trivial solution of the considered systems.
