The validity of perturbation theory approximationIn our study we considered fluctuations induced by noise to be small.This means that noise was considered a small perturbation, i.e. within a perturbation theory.Here we discuss the validity of this approximation.Although we used this approximation (perturbation theory) to solve equations of our model, our mechanism may take place even when the equations cannot be solved using this method.
