A parameterization method for quasi-periodic systems with noise: computation of random invariant tori
Pingyuan Wei, Lei Zhang
TL;DR
This work develops a rigorous, computation-ready framework for random invariant tori in quasi-periodically forced, noisy systems by extending the parameterization method to random settings. It first transforms SDEs to RDEs via an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck–based random change of variables, then defines random invariant manifolds and embeds tori with a random parameterization $K(\theta,\omega)$ satisfying a random invariance equation. A central existence-persistence theorem shows that for small noise $\varepsilon$ and adequate hyperbolicity, a nearby random torus $\mathcal{K}_\varepsilon$ exists, is uniquely determined in $\mathcal{L}^\infty(C^0)$, and remains normally hyperbolic; the framework also provides a perturbation theory to compute higher-order corrections $K_k$ and Lyapunov exponents. Numerically, the authors present an algorithm that uses adapted frames and reducibility to efficiently compute $K_k$ and the exponents, enabling direct estimation of NHIM statistics in random quasi-periodic settings. The approach yields a practical path to quantify transition states and reaction rates in noisy, time-dependent environments, with potential applications to Langevin-type models and other stochastic driven systems.
Abstract
This work is devoted to studying normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds (NHIMs) for a class of quasi-periodically forced systems subject to additional stochastic noise. These systems can be understood as skew-product systems. The existence of NHIMs is established by developing a parameterization method in random settings and applying the Implicit Function Theorem in appropriate Banach spaces. Based on this, we propose a numerical algorithm to compute the statistics of NHIMs and Lyapunov exponents.
