Popis: This paper presents a novel, simple method of Lyapunov Exponents (LEs) spectrum estimation for non-smooth and discontinuous systems. The presented algorithm works for continuous-time dynamical systems, as well as for discrete maps. Its simplicity and flexibility enables to estimate LEs of complex, discontinuous systems in an easy manner. The paper starts with a comprehensive review of the state-of-art methods of the LEs computation for non-smooth systems. Then, the novel algorithm is introduced. Further on, examples of its use are provided. The presented applications include non-smooth and discontinuous maps, as well as continuous-time mechanical systems with discontinuities induced by impacts or by dry friction. The paper confirms that the method is simple, effective and robust. The presented algorithm can facilitate research in a large class of discontinuous systems, including stick-slip oscillators and many others.
