Deterministicviability: single trajectories Event Events
Part I Resilience of a stochastic controlled dynamical system
Resilience in a stochasticdynamical system Recoveryisdefined by getting back to the stochasticviabilitykernel Centrality of the probability of recoveryafter a given date: the Probability of resilience No longer a unique measure of recovery but possibility to derivestatistics.
Part II Vulnerability as a measure of future harm
Harm: a value judgement on a state Threshold of harm Properties Ecologicalharm Quadraticincreasewith P Economicharm Increaseslinearly as L decreases
Definingvulnerability One associatesharm values to a trajectory: • Sum of staticharm values (costcriterion) • Crossing of a threshold (viabilitycriterion) Vulnerabilityis a statistic on the distribution of harm values: • Expected value of the cost • Exit probability (crossing of a threshold) • Value-at-risk (e.g. worst 1%) of the cost Interest in low-vulnerabilitykernels.
Vulnerability as exit probability Stochasticviabilitykernel!!!
Part III Towards a resilience-vulnerability framework
Conceptualdefinitions Resilience:capacity to keep or recoverpropertiesafter a hazard, disturbance or change. • Probability of recoveryat date t • Statistic on a recovery time distribution Vulnerability: a measure of future harm(Hinkel, 2011). • Statistic on an exit probability • Statistic on a cost distribution

Take home messages Complimentarityof resilience and vulnerability The notion of low-vulnerabilitykernelgeneralizesthat of viabilitykernel. Resilienceis the ability to get back to thissafety set after a disturbance or a change. Vulnerabilityis a statisticbased on the harm values associated to the possible trajectories. Choice of the strategydependent on the indicator.
