Noisy heteroclinic networks. (English) Zbl 1231.34100

The effect of small noise perturbations of a smooth continuous time dynamical system in the neighbourhood of its heteroclinic network is studied here. The limiting process is precisely described and implications and possible extensions of the results are informally considered.
