Transient behaviour of semilinear stochastic systems with random parameters (Q789370)

The author deals with a system governed by an n-dimensional evolution equation consisting of three terms: (1) a linear deterministic term with a time-invariant matrix coefficient, (2) a dynamic deterministic term which evolves periodically, (3) a nonlinear deterministic term depending on random parameters whose effects are rapidly absorbed by a small deterministic parameter. Initial random conditions with time-invariant probability density are considered. Within a stochastic operator framework developed by Adomian the author derives analytically approximated expressions for the first- and second-order moments of the system dynamics which are supposed to determine the probability density of the solution of the dynamics, i.e. the evolution equation described above. An application to the stochastic oscillator with a vanishing quadratic nonlinearity is given.
