The system is thermalized by deterministic and time-reversible scattering at the boundary. This thermostating mechanism allows for energy fluctuations around a mean value which is reflected by only two vanishing Lyapunov exponents in equilibrium and nonequilibrium. The Lyapunov exponents are calculated with a recently developed formalism for systems with elastic hard collisions. In a nonequilibrium steady state the average phase space volume is contracted onto a fractal attractor leading to a negative sum of Lyapunov exponents. Since the system is driven inhomogeneously we do not expect the conjugate pairing rule to hold which is confirmed numerically.13 pages (revtex) with 8 figures (encapsulated postscript)Chaotic DynamicsLyapunov Instability for a hard-disk fluid in equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermostated by deterministic scatteringtext
