Abstract

We consider a simultaneous small noise limit for a singularly perturbed coupled diffusion described by \begin{eqnarray*} dX^{\varepsilon}_t &=& b(X^{\varepsilon}_t, Y^{\varepsilon}_t)dt + \varepsilon^{\alpha}dB_t, dY^{\varepsilon}_t &=& - \frac{1}{\varepsilon} \nabla_yU(X^{\varepsilon}_t, Y^{\varepsilon}_t)dt + \frac{s(\varepsilon)}{\sqrt{\varepsilon}} dW_t, \end{eqnarray*} where Bt,WtB_t, W_t are independent Brownian motions on Rd{\mathbb R}^d and Rm{\mathbb R}^m respectively, b:Rd×RmRdb : \mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^d, U:Rd×RmRU : \mathbb{R}^d \times \mathbb{R}^m \rightarrow \mathbb{R} and s:(0,)(0,)s :(0,\infty) \rightarrow (0,\infty). We impose regularity assumptions on bb, UU and let 0<α<1.0 < \alpha < 1. When s(ε)s(\varepsilon) goes to zero slower than a prescribed rate as ε0\varepsilon \rightarrow 0, we characterize all weak limit points of XεX^{\varepsilon}, as ε0\varepsilon \rightarrow 0, as solutions to a differential equation driven by a measurable vector field. Under an additional assumption on the behaviour of U(x,)U(x, \cdot) at its global minima we characterize all limit points as Filippov solutions to the differential equation.
