The random attractor of the stochastic Lorenz system (Q1376351)

The definition of the notion of an attractor for a dynamical system of deterministic ordinary differential equations is generalized to apply to random dynamical systems generated by stochastic differential equations. Theorems are proved establishing criteria for existence and uniqueness of these random attractors and establishing an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor. The theory is then applied to a stochastic version of a Lorenz system to prove that it has a unique random attractor and that the Hausdorff dimension of the attractor is less than 3.
