We derive a sufficient condition for stability in probability of an equilibrium of a randomly perturbed map in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This condition can be used to stabilize unstable equilibria by random forcing. Analytical results on stabilization are illustrated with numerical examples of randomly perturbed nonlinear maps in one-and two-dimensional spaces.

a) Trajectories of the logistic map $x\mapsto f(x)$ (plotted in dashed line) and that of the randomly perturbed system (1). The former approaches the stable equilibrium of the deterministic system $\bar x_2$, while the latter returns to and remains in a small neighborhood of the origin. b) A trajectory of the two-dimesional system (46) stays near the orgin after brief transients. All trajectories of the underlying deterministic system $x\mapsto Ax+q(x)$ starting off the $x^{(2)}$-axis tend to infinity. In numerical simulations shown in a and b, the following parameter values were used: $\epsilon=0.05$ and $\rho=3$.
