Institut fu¨r Theoretische Physik, Universita¨t Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany(Dated: August 9, 2010)Understanding the underlying mechanisms causing rapid thermalization deduced for high-energyheavy ion collissons is still a challenge. To estimate the thermalization time, entropy growth forclassical Yang-Mills theories is studied, based on the determination of Lyapunov exponents. Distinctregimes for short, medium and long sampling times are characterized by different properties of theirspectrum of Lyapunov exponents. Clarifying the existence of these regimes and their implications forgauge-field dynamics is one of the results of this contribution. As a phenomenological application weconclude that for pure gauge theories with random initial conditions thermalization occures withinfew fm/c, an estimate which can be reduced by the inclusion of fermions, specific initial conditionsetc.I.
