Energetics of the single-well undamped stochastic oscillators

Abstract

The paper discusses analytical and numerical results for non-harmonic, undamped, single-well, stochastic oscillators driven by additive noises. It focuses on average kinetic, potential and total energies together with the corresponding distributions under random drivings, involving Gaussian white, Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and Markovian dichotomous noises. It demonstrates that insensitivity of the average total energy to the single-well potential type, V(x)x2nV(x) \propto x^{2n}, under Gaussian white noise does not extend to other noise types. Nevertheless, in the long-time limit (tt \to \infty), the average energies grow as power-law with exponents dependent on the steepness of the potential nn. Another special limit corresponds to nn\to\infty, i.e. to the infinite rectangular potential well, when the average total energy grows as a power-law with the same exponent for all considered noise types.
