Random attractors and almost-sure stability under discretization of a stochastic autoparametric system
Abstract
For a stochastic autoparametric block-and-pendulum system, the long-time dynamics exhibit two fundamental features: the almost-sure stability of the single mode solution, characterized by its Lyapunov exponent, and the global asymptotic dynamics when this single mode solution loses stability. This naturally raises the question of whether these dynamical features are preserved under discretization, since such preservation is essential for the resulting discrete system to faithfully capture the qualitative behavior of the continuous system. To address this question, we first establish the existence of a random attractor for the continuous system subject to multiplicative stochastic excitation, providing a rigorous characterization of the global asymptotic dynamics. We then propose a numerical discretization that induces a discrete random dynamical system and prove the convergence of its random attractor to the continuous one as the step size tends to zero. In addition, we show that the numerical Lyapunov exponent of the single mode solution has the same sign as its continuous counterpart for sufficiently small step sizes, thus preserving the corresponding almost-sure stability or instability classification. These results demonstrate that the proposed discretization captures both the global asymptotic dynamics and the stability characteristics of the underlying stochastic autoparametric system.
