Abstract

It is shown in this paper that any nonlinear systems dot x(t) = f(x(t), t) in Rd can be stabilized by Brownian motion provided |f{hook}(x,t)| ≤ K|x| for some K > 0. On the other hand, this system can also be destabilized by Brownian motion if the dimension d ≥ 2. Similar results are also obtained for any given stochastic differential equation dx(t) = f{hook}(x(t), t) + g(x(t), t) dW(t).
