-While Lyapunov exponents can be used for other purposes, they are primarily used to characterise [*chaotic behaviours*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory) (where small changes in initial conditions has large effect on the resulting trajectories). Generally, an ODE exhibit chaotic behaviours in a point in phase space if that point have *at least one* positive Lyapunov exponent. Practically, Lyapunov exponents can be computed using DynamicalSystems.jl's `lyapunovspectrum` function. Here we will use it to investigate two models, one which exhibits chaos and one which do not.
