Abstract
We consider a nearly-elastic model system with one degree of freedom. In each collision with the "wall", the system can either lose or gain a small amount of energy due to stochastic perturbation. The weak limit of the corresponding slow motion, which is a stochastic process on a graph, is calculated. A large deviation type asymptotics and the metastability of the system are also considered.
