Abstract
Lyapunov characteristic numbers are used to estimate numerically the Kolmogorov entropy of an isolated one-dimensional self-gravitating system consisting of $N$ plane parallel sheets with uniform density. It appears that the Kolmogorov entropy increases linearly when the number of degrees of freedom is greater than or equal to 2.
