The concentration of zero-noise limits of invariant measures for stochastic dynamical systems
Abstract
In this paper, we study concentration phenomena of zero-noise limits of invariant measures for stochastic differential equations defined on Rd with locally Lipschitz continuous coefficients and more than one ergodic state. Under some dissipative conditions, by using Lyapunov-like functions and large deviations methods, we estimate the invariant measures in neighborhoods of stable sets, neighborhoods of unstable sets and their complement, respectively. Our result illustrates that invariant measures concentrate on the intersection of stable sets where a cost functional W(Ki) is minimized and the Birkhoff center of the corresponding deterministic systems as noise tends down to zero. Furthermore, we prove the large deviations principle of invariant measures. At the end of this paper, we provide some explicit examples and their numerical simulations.
