Capture into parametric autoresonance in the presence of noise

Abstract

System of differential equations describing the initial stage of the capture of oscillatory systems into the parametric autoresonance is considered. Of special interest are solutions whose amplitude increases without bound with time. The possibility of capture the system into the autoresonance is related with the stability of such solutions. We study the stability of autoresonant solutions with respect to persistent perturbations of white noise type, and we show that under certain conditions on the intensity of the noise, the capture into parametric autoresonance is preserved with probability tending to one.
