16. In reality, turbulence develops if the system’s dimension in the direction on the gradient of velocity becomes too large, but the isokinetic and the constant (Formula presented) thermostats stabilize the linear flow field, even for (Formula presented).

22. Here we assume that such a power series expansion can be carried out for individual Lyapunov exponents. This is not unreasonable, but it might be applicable only to low densities. In any case, it is clear from the preceding paragraph that the presence of such nonanalytic terms can only give rise to differences between the finite-time Lyapunov exponents (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) (or the actual Lyapunov exponents (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) that are weaker than (Formula presented).
