Tipping Points in Stochastically Perturbed Linear Filippov Systems

In this thesis, we study noise-induced tipping in a piecewise-smooth, linear, one-dimensional periodically forced system perturbed by weak additive noise. This problem is motivated by a recent model of energy flux in Arctic sea ice. We determine the most probable tipping events using path integral t...
