| contents | Random metastability occurs when an externally forced or noisy system possesses more than one state of apparent equilibrium. This work investigates fluctuations in a class of random dynamical systems, arising from randomly perturbing a piecewise smooth expanding interval map with more than one invariant subinterval. Upon perturbation, this invariance is destroyed, allowing trajectories to switch between subintervals, giving rise to metastable behaviour. We show that the distributions of jumps of a time-homogeneous Markov chain approximate the distributions of jumps for random metastable systems. Additionally, we demonstrate that this approximation extends to the diffusion coefficient for (random) observables of such systems. As an example, our results are applied to Horan's random paired tent maps. |
