Perturbation of Systems with a First Integral: Motion on the Reeb Graph (2207.03981v1)

Abstract: We consider the long-time behavior of systems close to a system with a smooth first integral. Under certain assumptions, the limiting behavior, to some extent, turns out to be universal: it is determined by the first integral, the deterministic perturbation, and the initial point. Furthermore, it is the same for a broad class of noises. In particular, the long-time behavior of a deterministic system can, in a sense, be stochastic and stochastic systems can have a reduced stochasticity. The limiting distribution is calculated explicitly.
