Study of noise-induced transitions in the Lorenz system using the minimum action method (Q983105)

The authors study the behaviour of noise-induced transitions in non-gradient systems when complex invariant sets emerge. Specific attention is paid to the Lorenz system, before the homoclininc explosion bifurcation and when the chaotic invariant set emerges. Further, based on the Freidlin-Wentzell theory, they use the minimum action method to identify the optimal transition path.
