Abstract

We study a class of ordinary differential equations with a non-Lipschitz point singularity, which admit non-unique solutions through this point. As a selection criterion, we introduce stochastic regularizations depending on the parameter ν\nu: the regularized dynamics is globally defined for each ν>0\nu > 0, and the original singular system is recovered in the limit of vanishing ν\nu. We prove that this limit yields a unique statistical solution independent of regularization, when the deterministic system possesses certain chaotic properties. In this case, solutions become spontaneously stochastic after passing through the singularity: they are selected randomly with an intrinsic probability distribution.
