Abstract

A two-dimensional diagonal system of ordinary differential equations is constructed. The system possesses the following properties: the solution of the Cauchy problem with computable initial condition is a computable function, the lower Lyapunov exponent is noncomputable, and the upper central exponent of the system does not coincide with the higher Lyapunov exponent and is noncomputable.
