Synchronization by noise (Q2363646)

For a random dynamical system (RDS) with a weak random attractor, synchronization by noise occurs if the attractor consists of just one point, so that the attractor is given by a random variable. The paper provides sufficient conditions for the synchronization by noise by establishing the existence of a unique weak random attractor given by a random variable. These conditions are, in the case of a RDS induced by stochastic differential equations (SDE) with additive noise, also necessary. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the existence of a minimal weak random point attractor given by a random variable are established. This allows to obtain synchronization by noise for large classes of SDE with additive noise. The results of the paper cover essentially all results on synchronization by noise previously obtained by different approaches.
