Let / be a set of invariants for a system of differential equations with an order o(ε) vector field. When order ε perturbations of zero mean are added to the system we show that, under suitable regularity and ergodicity conditions, / becomes an adiabatic invariant with maximal variations of order one on time scales of order 1/ε 2 . In the stochastically perturbed case, / behaves asymptotically (for small ε) like a diffusion process on 1/ε 2 time scales. The results also apply to an interesting class of deterministic perturbations. This study extends the results of Khas'minskii on stochastically averaged systems, as well as some of the deterministic methods of averaging, to such invariants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
