In many applications in partial differential equations, such equations are often posed on a scale of nonequivalent spaces mitigating, e.g., integrability ($L^p$) or differentiability ($W^{s, p}$). In contrast to finite dimensions, the Lyapunov exponent could apriori depend on the choice of norm used. In this paper we show that under quite general conditions, the Lyapunov exponent of a cocycle of compact linear operators is independent of the norm used. We apply this result to two important problems from fluid mechanics: the enhanced dissipation rate for the advection diffusion equation with ergodic velocity field; and the Lyapunov exponent for the 2d Navier-Stokes equations with stochastic or periodic forcing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-07-29T17:24:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37L30", "37H15", "37D25", "35G05", "35Q35", "35R60" ], "keywords": [ "lyapunov exponent", "regularizing linear evolution equations", "norm equivalence", "2d navier-stokes equations", "partial differential equations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
