Random Perturbations of Dynamical Systems (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

A treatment of various kinds of limit theorems for stochastic processes defined as a result of random perturbations of dynamical systems. Apart from the long-time behaviour of the perturbed system, exit problems, metastable states, optimal stabilisation, and asymptotics of stationary distributions are considered in detail. The authors'main tools are the large deviation theory, the central limit theorem for stochastic processes, and the averaging principle. The results allow for explicit calculations of the asymptotics of many interesting characteristics of the perturbed system, and most of these results are closely connected with PDEs. This new edition contains expansions on the averaging principle, a new chapter on random perturbations of Hamiltonian systems, along with new results on fast oscillating perturbations of systems with conservation laws. New sections on wave front propagation in semilinear PDEs and on random perturbations of certain infinite-dimensional dynamical systems have been incorporated into the chapter on sharpenings and generalisations.

Rezensionen

From the reviews of the third edition:

"The celebrated work of Ventsel and Freidlin has proved to be a major contribution in this development, with their phenomenal text Random Perturbations of Dynamical Systems, now in its third edition, playing a unique role. ... The book under review has evolved since its first English edition was published in 1984, a translation from the Russian original of 1979. ... it will attract an ever growing population of applied mathematicians to the fascinating new frontier of stochastic dynamics." (Hong Qian and Hao Ge, SIAM Review, Vol. 55 (3), 2013)
