Abstract

We consider small random perturbations of matrix cocycles over Lipschitz homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. Lyapunov exponents are shown to be stable provided that our perturbations satisfy certain regularity conditions. These results are applicable to dynamical systems, particularly to volume-preserving diffeomorphisms.
