contents We show that within the Newhouse domain of $C^r$ surface diffeomorphisms ($r \in [2,\infty )$), there exists a dense subset $\mathcal D$ such that for any $f \in \mathcal D$, Lyapunov exponents fail to exist for all points in some open set $U$ and all nonzero tangent vectors in some open cone $V \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. This demonstrates that the non-existence of Lyapunov exponents is a persistent phenomenon in the setting of robust homoclinic tangencies. The proof relies on constructing diffeomorphisms exhibiting specific oscillatory return times near a homoclinic tangency, incorporating techniques from Newhouse theory and recent results on Lyapunov irregularity, alongside several refinements and new arguments.

We show that within the Newhouse domain of $C^r$ surface diffeomorphisms ($r \in [2,\infty )$), there exists a dense subset $\mathcal D$ such that for any $f \in \mathcal D$, Lyapunov exponents fail to exist for all points in some open set $U$ and all nonzero tangent vectors in some open cone $V \subset \mathbb{R}^2$. This demonstrates that the non-existence of Lyapunov exponents is a persistent phenomenon in the setting of robust homoclinic tangencies.
