The exit problem for small perturbations of a dynamical system in a domain is considered. It is assumed that the unperturbed dynamical system and the domain satisfy the Levinson conditions. We assume that the random perturbation affects the…

Many physical and chemical phenomena are governed by stochastic escape across potential barriers. The escape time depends on the structure of the noise and the shape of the potential barrier. By applying $\alpha$-stable noise from the…

A dynamical system perturbed by white noise in a neighborhood of an unstable fixed point is considered. We obtain the exit asymptotics in the limit of vanishing noise intensity. This is a refinement of a result by Kifer (1981).

We survey recent results of normal and anomalous diffusion of two types of random motions with long memory in ${\Bbb R}^d$ or ${\Bbb Z}^d$. The first class consists of random walks on ${\Bbb Z}^d$ in divergence-free random drift field,…

Intermittency of energy dissipation has long been studied via high-order moments in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence, but not much where the boundary effects are explicitly included. Here, we derive two fundamental Reynolds number…

When two synchronised phase oscillators are perturbed by weak noise, they display occasional losses of synchrony, called phase slips. The slips can be characterised by their location in phase space and their duration. We show that when…

The goal of this paper is to supplement the large deviation principle of the Freidlin--Wentzell theory on exit problems for diffusion processes with results of classical central limit theorem kind. We describe a class of situations where…

We evaluate the limit distribution of the maximal excursion of a random walk in any dimension for homogeneous environments and for self-similar supports under the assumption of spherical symmetry. This distribution is obtained in closed…
