Summary: Noise tolerance of many stochastic and non-smooth optimization algorithms is attributable to general properties of attraction of the trajectories of some finite-difference inclusions to neighborhoods of stationary sets. In this paper we present a general construction of the attraction domain of finite-difference inclusions, which leads to meaningful results in various applications and, in particular, produces unimprovable attractors of the trajectories of numerical nonsmooth optimization methods in the presence of noise. The main mathematical apparatus is the direct Lyapunov method.
