The aim of this research work is to compare the reliability of several variational indicators of chaos in mappings. The Lyapunov Indicator; the Mean Exponential Growth factor of Nearby Orbits (MEGNO); the Smaller Alignment Index (SALI); the Fast Lyapunov Indicator (FLI); the Dynamical Spectra of stretching numbers and the corresponding Spectral Distance and the Relative Lyapunov Indicator (RLI), which is based on the evolution of the difference between two close orbits, have been included. The experiments presented herein allow us to reliably suggest a group of chaos indicators to analyze a general mapping. We show that a package composed of the FLI and the RLI (to analyze the phase portrait globally) and the MEGNO and the SALI (to analyze orbits individually) is good enough to make a description of the systems’ dynamics. true The aim of this research work is to compare the reliability of several variational indicators of chaos in mappings.
