Summary
We consider diffusion random perturbations of a dynamical systemS t in a domainG⊂R m which, in particular, may be invariant under the action ofS t. Continuing the study of [K1-K4] we find the asymptotic behavior of the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding generator when the diffusion term tends to zero.
