Stochastic stability of quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian systems under parametric excitations of Gaussian and Poisson white noises

The asymptotic Lyapunov stability with probability one of n-degree-of-freedom (n-DOF) quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian systems subject to weakly parametric excitations of combined Gaussian and Poisson white noises is studied by using the largest Lyapunov exponent. First, an n-DOF quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian system subject to weakly parametric excitations of combined Gaussian and Poisson white noises is reduced to a one-dimensional averaged Ito stochastic differential equation (SDE) for Hamiltonian by using the stochastic averaging method for quasi non-integrable Hamiltonian systems. Then, the expression for the Lyapunov exponent of the averaged Ito SDE is derived and the approximately necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic Lyapunov stability with probability one of the trivial solution of the original system is obtained. Finally, one example is worked out to illustrate the proposed procedure and its effectiveness is confirmed by comparing with Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that analytical and simulation results agree well. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
