Preface

Establishing a new concept of local Lyapunov exponents, two separate theories are brought together, namely Lyapunov exponents and the theory of large deviations. Specifically, for the stochastic differential system dZtε = A (Xtε ) Ztε dt √ dXtε = b (Xtε ) dt + ε σ (Xtε ) dWt the new concept is introduced. Due to stationarity, the Lyapunov exponents of Ztε (which by Oseledets’ Multiplicative Ergodic Theorem describe the exponential growth rates of Ztε ) do not depend on the initial position x of X ε . Now the goal of this work is to provide a Lyapunov-type number for each regime of the drift b. As this characteristic number shall depend on the domain in which X ε , a dynamical system perturbed by additive white noise, is starting, it yields a concept of locality for the Lyapunov exponents of Ztε . Furthermore, the locality of such local Lyapunov exponents is to be understood as reflecting the quasi-deterministic behavior of X ε which asserts that in the limit of small noise, ε → 0, the process X ε has metastable states depending on its initial value as well as on the time scale chosen (Freidlin-Wentzell theory). Up to now local Lyapunov exponents have been defined as finite time versions of Lyapunov exponents by several authors, but here we target at investigating the large time asymptotics t → ∞. So the goal is to connect the large parameters t and ε−1 in the customary definition of the Lyapunov exponents in order to approach the sublimiting distributions (Freidlin) which are supporte
