Residual Diffusivity for Noisy Bernoulli Maps
Gautam Iyer, James H. Nolen · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024
Consider a discrete time Markov process $X^\varepsilon$ on $\mathbb R^d$ that makes a deterministic jump prescribed by a map $φ\colon \mathbb R^d \to \mathbb R^d$, and then takes a small Gaussian step of variance $\varepsilon^2$. For certain chaotic maps $φ$, the effective diffusivity of $X^\varepsilon$ may be bounded away from $0$ as $\varepsilon \to 0$. This is known as residual diffusivity, and in this paper we prove residual diffusivity occurs for a class of maps $φ$ obtained from piecewise affine expanding Bernoulli maps.
