Comment on "Ruling out chaos in compact binary systems"
Neil J. Cornish, Janna Levin
TL;DR
This paper challenges recent claims that chaos is absent in compact binary systems by confirming the original findings of chaos through positive Lyapunov exponents, highlighting ongoing debate in the field.
Contribution
The authors demonstrate that chaos in compact binary systems persists, contradicting recent studies that reported no positive Lyapunov exponents.
Findings
Chaos confirmed in compact binary systems via positive Lyapunov exponents
Contradicts recent claims of no chaos in such systems
Supports original findings from Levin (2000)
Abstract
In a recent Letter, Schnittman and Rasio argue that they have ruled out chaos in compact binary systems since they find no positive Lyapunov exponents. In stark constrast, we find that the chaos discovered in the original paper under discussion, J.Levin, PRL, 84 3515 (2000), is confirmed by the presence of positive Lyapunov exponents.
