Localized Instability and Attraction along Invariant Manifolds

We derive a simple criterion for transverse instabilities along a general invariant manifold of a multidimensional dynamical system. The criterion requires an appropriately defined normal infinitesimal Lyapunov exponent (NILE) to be positive over regions of transverse instability on the manifold. Un...
