Stochastic Stability of Dynamical Systems

10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Superior B

The behavior of dynamical systems under random perturbation is of vital importance in applications and modelling. Hyperbolic dynamical systems are one class in which the behavior under random perturbation is partially understood and this knowledge has proved useful in calculating dynamical invariants and invariant measures. This minisymposium will discuss such results and also address recent results for another class of important model systems: forced or skew product systems. These results concern the existence, regularity and stability properties of invariant graphs in forced systems, and are important in understanding the stability of chaotic synchronized systems to noise, and dimension increase in recursive filters. The intended audience includes workers in nonlinear signal processing and applied dynamical systems.
