In the stability theory of dynamical systems, Lyapunov functions play a fundamental role. In this paper, we study the attractor–repeller pair decomposition and Morse decomposition for compact metric space in the random setting. In contrast to [7,17], by introducing slightly stronger definitions of random attractor and repeller, we characterize attractor–repeller pair decompositions and Morse decompositions for random dynamical systems through the existence of Lyapunov functions. These characterizations, we think, deserve to be known widely.

In this paper, we first construct strong Lyapunov functions for random attractors. On this basis, we then establish strong Morse–Lyapunov functions for Morse decompositions of the random attractors. Finally, the stability of the Morse decompositions is studied through the Morse–Lyapunov functions.

We describe topological methods for the efficient, rigorous computation of dynamical systems. In particular, we indicate how Conley's Fundamental Decomposition Theorem is naturally related to combinatorial approximations of dynamical systems. Furthermore, we show that computations of Morse decompositions and isolating blocks can be performed efficiently. We conclude with examples indicating how these ideas can be applied to finite- and infinite-dimensional discrete and continuous dynamical systems.
