This work focuses on angular values of nonautonomous dynamical systems which have been introduced for general random and (non)autonomous dynamical systems in a previous publication [W.-J. Beyn, G. Froyland, and T. H\"uls, SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst., 21 (2022), pp. 1245--1286]. The angular value of dimension $s$ measures the maximal average rotation which an $s$-dimensional subspace of the phase space experiences through the dynamics of a discrete-time linear system. Our main results relate the notion of angular value to the well-known dichotomy (or Sacker--Sell) spectrum and its associated spectral bundles. In particular, we prove a reduction theorem which shows that instead of maximizing over all subspaces, it suffices to maximize over so-called trace spaces which have their basis in the spectral fibers. The reduction leads to an algorithm for computing angular values of dimensions one and two. We apply the algorithm to several systems of dimension up to 4 and demonstrate its efficiency to detect the fastest rotating subspace even if it is not dominant under the forward dynamics. |
