Random perturbations of hyperbolic dynamics (Q2274208)

The authors consider small random perturbations around a fixed diagonal and positive matrix -- that induces a random dynamics on a high-dimensional sphere. For a certain class of rotationally invariant random perturbations of the underlying sequence of large invertible matrices, it is shown that the dynamics approach the stable fixed points of the unperturbed matrix -- up to errors -- even if the strength of the perturbation is large compared to the relative increase of nearby diagonal entries of the unperturbed matrix specifying the local hyperbolicity.
