Abstract
A novel method of estimation of the largest Lyapunov exponent for discrete maps is introduced and evaluated for chosen examples of non-smooth dynamical systems. The method exploits the phenomenon of synchronization of two identical discrete maps when one of them is disturbed. Applications of the method for mechanical systems with discontinuities are presented and discussed.
