The Stochastic Energy-Casimir Method
Abstract
In this paper, we extend the energy-Casimir stability method for deterministic Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian systems to provide sufficient conditions for the stability in probability of stochastic dynamical systems with symmetries and multiplicative noise. We illustrate this theory with classical examples of coadjoint motion, including the rigid body, the heavy top and the compressible Euler equation in two dimensions. The main result of this extension is that stable deterministic equilibria remain stable in probability up to a certain stopping time which depends on the amplitude of the noise for finite dimensional systems and on the amplitude the spatial derivative of the noise for infinite dimensional systems.
