摘要

We provide an explicit rigorous derivation of a diffusion limit-a stochastic differential equation (SDE) with additive noise-from a deterministic skew-product flow. This flow is assumed to exhibit time-scale separation and has the form of a slowly evolving system driven by a fast chaotic flow. Under mild assumptions on the fast flow, we prove convergence to a SDE as the time-scale separation grows. In contrast to existing work, we do not require the flow to have good mixing properties. As a consequence, our results incorporate a large class of fast flows, including the classical Lorenz equations.
