Gradient Infinite-Dimensional Random Dynamical Systems

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the concept of a gradient random dynamical system as a random semiflow possessing a continuous random Lyapunov function which describes the asymptotic regime of the system. Thus, we are able to analyze the dynamical properties on a random attractor described by its Morse decomposition for infinite-dimensional random dynamical systems. In particular, if a random attractor is characterized by a family of invariant random compact sets, we show the equivalence among the asymptotic stability of this family, the Morse decomposition of the random attractor, and the existence of a random Lyapunov function.
