Researchers have developed a novel method for estimating negative largest Lyapunov exponents from short trajectory ensembles without relying on governing equations or analytical Jacobians. This period-aware forecast-error contraction procedure synchronizes forecasts with the detected orbit period and requires a stable consensus across transient lengths to accept candidate slopes. The technique was tested on the logistic map, successfully recovering 92% of negative-exponent parameter values with a mean absolute error of 0.0253, and on a two-dimensional map, achieving mean absolute errors between 0.00879 and 0.01145.
