Given a deterministic difference equation $x_{n+1}= f(x_n)$ with a continuous $f$ increasing on $[0, b]$, $f(0) \geq 0$, we would like to stabilize any point $x^{\ast}\in (f(0), f(b))$, by introducing the proportional feedback (PF) control. We assume that PF control contains either a multiplicative $x_{n+1}= f\left((\nu + \ell\chi_{n+1})x_n \right)$ or an additive noise $x_{n+1}=f(\lambda x_n) +\ell\chi_{n+1}$. We study conditions under which the solution eventually enters some interval, treated as a stochastic (blurred) equilibrium. In addition, we prove that, for each $\varepsilon>0$, when the noise level $\ell$ is sufficiently small, all solutions eventually belong to the interval $(x^{\ast}-\varepsilon, x^{\ast}+\varepsilon)$.

Figure 2. Solutions of the difference equation with $f$ as in (5.1) and multiplicative stochastic perturbations with $\ell=0.01$ (upper left), $\ell=0.025$ (upper right), where PF control aims at stabilizing $x^*=1.5$, $\nu \approx 0.4685$ and $\ell=0.015$ (two lower rows), with either $x^*=1.125$ (second row, left) or $x^*=1.1$ stabilized (second row, right), and $x^*=0$ is stabilized for $\nu =0.39$ (lower left); for $\nu =0.75$ there is no blurred equilibrium but oscillations (lower right). Everywhere $x_0=0.5$

Figure 5. Solutions of the difference equation with $f$ as in (5.2) and multiplicative stochastic perturbations with $\ell=0.01$, where we stabilize the maximum $\approx 2.877$ (left), the zero equilibrium with $\nu=0.23$ (middle) and obtain a blurred cycle for $\nu=0.35$ (right). Everywhere we present five runs, $x_0=1$
