Upper semi-continuity of stationary statistical properties of dissipative systems

We show that stationary statistical properties for uniformly dissipative dynamical systems are upper semi-continuous under regular perturbation and a special type of singular perturbation in time of relaxation type. The results presented are applicable to many physical systems such as the singular limit of infinite Prandtl-Darcy number in the Darcy-Boussinesq system for convection in porous media, or the large Prandtl asymptotics for the Boussinesq system.
