Nonlinear stiffness, Lyapunov exponents, and attractor dimension

Abstract
I propose that stiffness may be defined and quantified for nonlinear systems using Lyapunov exponents, and demonstrate the relationship that exists between stiffness and the fractal dimension of a strange attractor: that stiff chaos is thin chaos.
