Abstract: In random differential equations with bounded noise, minimal forward invariant (MFI)
sets play a central role since they support stationary measures. We study the stability
and possible bifurcations of MFI sets. In dimensions 1 and 2 we classify all minimal
forward invariant sets and their codimension-one bifurcations in bounded noise
random differential equations under generic conditions. We find in 1 dimension that
there is only 1 codimension-one bifurcation, which is an analog of the saddle-node
bifurcation. In 2 dimensions we show that there are 3 distinct codimension-one
bifurcations.
