Abstract
Let λ denote the almost sure Lyapunov exponent obtained by linearizing the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol oscillator
at the origin x = x = 0 in phase space. If λ > 0 then the process {(x t , x t ): t > 0} is positive recurrent on R2 {(0,0)} with stationary probability measure μ, say. For λ > 0 let \( \tilde{\lambda } \) denote the almost sure Lyapunov exponent obtained by linearizing the same equation along a typical stationary trajectory in R 2 ∖{(0,0)}. The sign of \( \tilde{\lambda } \) is important for stability properties of the two point motion associated with the original equation. We use stochastic averaging techniques to estimate the value of \( \tilde{\lambda } \) in the presence of small noise and small viscous damping.
