The coefficients $\\alpha,\\beta$ evolve along the $\\varphi^t$-orbit for $\\omega\\in M$ and $\\varphi^t: M\\to M$ is an ergodic flow defined on a probability space. We also obtain the corresponding version for the frictionless equation $\\ddot x+\\beta(\\varphi^t(\\omega))x=0$ and for a Schr\\\"odinger equation $\\ddot x+(E-Q(\\varphi^t(\\omega)))x=0$, inducing a cocycle $\\Phi:\\mathbb{R}\\times M\\to \\text{SL}(2,\\mathbb{R})$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-01-12T10:04:35.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simple lyapunov spectrum", "lp parameters", "order linear homogeneous differential equations", "second order linear homogeneous differential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
