15. The Liapunov characteristic exponents describe how the distance between two points x1 (t), and x2 (t), with an arbitrary small initial value x1 (0) - x2 (0) <, grows as a function of time. The positive exponent lends a hint that the magnetization dynamics is chaotic since the x1 (t) - x2 (t), exponentially grows. For detail, see A. J. Lichtenberg and M. A. Lieberman, Regular and Stochastic Motion (Spinger-Verlag, New York, 1983).
