In this paper we elaborate a study of the influence of the alternative
mathematical schemes of noise introduced by a recent paper of Argyris
et al. in this journal and discuss their influence on the correlation
dimension and on the largest Lyapunov exponent pf attractors of dynam
ic systems arising in either a discrete or a continuous in time formul
ation. The concept of a linearizable noisy system is also introduced.
