Abstract

We study the superlinear oscillator equation x¨+xα1x=p(t)\ddot{x}+ \lvert x \rvert^{\alpha-1}x = p(t) for α3\alpha\geq 3, where pp is a quasi-periodic forcing with no Diophantine condition on the frequencies and show that typically the set of initial values leading to solutions xx such that limt(x(t)+x˙(t))=\lim_{t\to\infty} (\lvert x(t) \rvert + \lvert \dot{x}(t) \rvert) = \infty has Lebesgue measure zero, provided the starting energy x(t0)+x˙(t0)\lvert x(t_0) \rvert + \lvert \dot{x}(t_0) \rvert is sufficiently large.
