In this presentation I will show how Monte Carlo methods can be used to efficiently perform averages on chaotic open dynamical systems. I will introduce a new algorithm, based on the well known Wang-Landau algorithm, to compute both the escape time distribution and the maximum Lyapunov exponent of the system in polynomial time, much faster than the exponential scaling of the standard uniform sampling. From the algorithmic point of view, this problem corresponds to sample a landscape with fractaly-distributed minima (singularities).
