Random perturbations of dynamical systems

Author: M I Freĭdlin; Alexander D Wentzell
Publisher: New York : Springer, ©1998.
Series: Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, 260
Edition/Format: Book : English : 2nd edView all editions and formats
Summary:
This volume is concerned with various kinds of limit theorems for stochastic processes defined as a result of random perturbations of dynamical systems, especially with the long-time behavior of the perturbed system. In particular, exit problems, metastable states, optimal stabilization, and asymptotics of stationary distributions are also carefully considered.

The authors' main tools are the large deviation theory

Most of the results are closely connected with PDEs, and the authors' approach presents a powerful method for studying the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of initial-boundary value problems for corresponding PDEs.  Read more...

Abstract:

This volume is concerned with various kinds of limit theorems for stochastic processes defined as a result of random perturbations of dynamical systems, especially with the long-time behavior of the perturbed system. In particular, exit problems, metastable states, optimal stabilization, and asymptotics of stationary distributions are also carefully considered.

The authors' main tools are the large deviation theory the centred limit theorem for stochastic processes, and the averaging principle - all presented in great detail. The results allow for explicit calculations of the asymptotics of many interesting characteristics of the perturbed system.

Most of the results are closely connected with PDEs, and the authors' approach presents a powerful method for studying the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of initial-boundary value problems for corresponding PDEs.
