When the factors multiplied by the chain rule are continuously less than 1, gradients decay exponentially (vanishing); when they are continuously greater than 1, gradients grow exponentially (exploding).

UnverifiedWhen the spectral radius of the combined operator is less than 1, the iterative process converges stably to a fixed point.75% similarUnverifiedFor finite step sizes, even if a stationary point is unstable under continuous-time gradient flow, if the step size is too large it may skip over the escape direction and cause numerical divergence, while if the step size is too small the escape time may grow exponentially and appear as stagnation.74% similarUnverifiedA per-step success rate that looks very high gets rapidly diluted across a long chain, with degradation becoming more severe as the number of steps increases.71% similarVerifiedSmaller models often show exponential rather than linear degradation in performance on long reasoning chain tasks.71% similarUnverifiedThe top Lyapunov exponent measures the long-term average exponential growth rate of errors in a linear stochastic iterative system, where a positive value implies divergence at an exponential rate and a negative value implies stable contraction.71% similar
