Abstract

In this paper we examine the effects of perturbing certain deterministic dynamical systems possessing a stable limit cycle by an additive white noise term with small intensity. We place assumptions on the system guaranteeing that when noise is present the corresponding random process generates an ergodic probability measure. We then determine the behavior of the invariant measure when the noise intensity is small.
