* `lyapunov_reset` (double, default: `print_freq`): if this is set, then, when
computing the Lyapnuov exponents, the tangent flow will renormalize itself at
times proportional to `lyapunov_reset`. This option is incompatible with
`lyapunov_maxu`.

step algorithms cannot be used for the tangent flow.
# Interrupting and resuming the computation
The computation can be interrupted by sending Nstrophy the `SIGINT` signal
