Part of Focus on Brownian Motion and Diffusion in the 21st Century

We show that two dynamical systems exhibiting very different deterministic behaviours possess very similar stationary distributions when stabilized by a multiplicative Gaussian white noise. We also discuss practical aspects of numerically simulating these systems. We show that there exists a noise level that is optimal in the sense that the interval during which discrete-time versions of the systems remain physical is maximized. Analytical results are illustrated by numerical examples.
