The effect of a small bounded noise on the hyperbolicity for autonomous semilinear differential equations

Abstract

In this work, we study permanence of hyperbolicity for autonomous differential equations under nonautonomous random/stochastic perturbations. For the linear case, we study robustness and existence of exponential dichotomies for nonautonomous random dynamical systems. Next, we establish a result on the persistence of hyperbolic equilibria for nonlinear differential equations. We show that for each nonautonomous random perturbation of an autonomous semilinear problem with a hyperbolic equilibrium there exists a bounded random hyperbolic solution for the associated nonlinear nonautonomous random dynamical systems. Moreover, we show that these random hyperbolic solutions converge to the autonomous equilibrium. As an application, we consider a semilinear dfferential equation with a small nonautonomous multiplicative white noise, and as an example, we apply the abstract results to a strongly damped wave equation.
