Noise-induced stabilization of planar flows ii
Abstract
© 2015 University of Washington. All rights reserved.We continue the work started
in Part I [6], showing how the addition of noise can stabilize an otherwise unstable
system. The analysis makes use of nearly optimal Lyapunov functions. In this continuation,
we remove the main limiting assumption of Part I by an inductive procedure as well
as establish a lower bound which shows that our construction is radially sharp. We
also prove a version of Peskir’s [7] generalized Tanaka formula adapted to patching
together Lyapunov functions. This greatly simplifies the analysis used in previous
works.
