Topological conjugacy, classification and structural stability of linear hyperbolic random dynamical systems are investigated systematically and in detail. After presenting the deterministic theory and introducing the basics of random dynamical systems (RDS), including the multiplicative ergodic theorem of Oseledets (1968), linearization of RDS is discussed. Then both discrete and continuous time linear systems are investigated. The main result (here stated for discrete time): Two linear hyperbolic random systems are topologically equivalent if, besides having stable (random) subspaces of the same dimension, the \(\omega\)-sets where their restrictions to the stable und unstable subspaces, respectively, do not have the same orientation, are both coboundaries with respect to the base flow. Several consequences of this result are derived, such as: hyperbolic deterministic systems are stable under small random perturbations. In a deterministic hyperbolic-fixed point of a random system no bifurcation can occur.
