Summary
A perturbation scheme is described to treat time variable cryptodeterministic systems. According to Moyal's degree of randomness criteria the method provides a complete stochastic characterization of the system response. Certain digital computational features, when the perturbation scheme is not applicable, are also outlined. For an assumed random initial state, the results are then applied to describe the transient flapping oscillations of a helicopter blade which in forward flight has periodically varying aerodynamic damping and spring parameters.
