Abstract: | Suppose thatL is a second order elliptic differential operator on a manifoldM, B is a vector field, andV is a continuous function. The paper studies by probabilistic and dynamical systems means the behavior asɛ → 0 of the principal eigenvalueλ
ε
(V) for the operatorL
ε
= ɛL + (B, ∇) +V considered on a compact manifold or in a bounded domain with zero boundary conditions. Under certain hyperbolicity conditions
on invariant sets of the dynamical system generated by the vector fieldB the limit asɛ → 0 of this principal eigenvalue turns out to be the topological pressure for some function. This gives a natural transition
asɛ → 0 from Donsker-Varadhan’s variational formula for principal eigenvalues to the variational principle for the topological
pressure and unifies previously separate results on random perturbations of dynamical systems.
