Exit asymptotics for small diffusion about an unstable equilibrium

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

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).
