Abstract

This work is devoted to long-time properties of the Arratia flow with drift -- a stochastic flow on ℝ whose one-point motions are weak solutions to a stochastic differential equation dX(t)=a(X(t))dt+dw(t) that move independently before the meeting time and coalesce at the meeting time. We study special modification of such flow (constructed in \citeRiabov) that gives rise to a random dynamical system and thus allows to discuss stationary points. Existence of a unique stationary point is proved in the case of a strictly monotone Lipschitz drift by developing a variant of a pullback procedure. Connections between the existence of a stationary point and properties of a dual flow are discussed.
