Moreover, if the drift is reversed and the diffeomorphism is inverted, then the path function so produced tends, independently of its starting point, to a single (random) point whose distribution is $d\\Pi$. Applications to stationary solutions of $X_t$, asymptotic behavior of solutions of SPDEs and random attractors are offered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-12-20T19:37:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60J60", "60H15" ], "keywords": [ "invariant measure", "finite stationary measure", "stratonovich sde", "one-dimensional positive recurrent diffusion", "stochastic flow" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....12410B" } } }
