Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) have been subject of extensive research ever since the foundation was laid by Kiyoshi Itô in his brilliant work from 1944. We investigate some relations between SDEs and their deterministic counterparts. The first is the stabilizing effect the noise can have on an explosive ordinary differential equation (ODE). Pioneer work was done by Scheutzow (1993), in which he provides an example in R2 of an ODE that explodes for all initial condition in finite time, while the corresponding SDE is non-explosive for each initial condition almost surely. He specifies and validates a Lyapunov function, whose existence implies the existence of an invariant probability measure. The same phenomenon was proven by Ma...
