Stability of nearly-integrable systems with dissipation

We study the stability of a vector field associated to a nearly-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system to which a dissipation is added. Such a system is governed by two parameters, named the perturbing and dissipative parameters, and it depends on a drift function. Assuming that the frequency of motion satisfies some resonance assumption, we investigate the stability of the dynamics, and precisely the variation of the action variables associated to the conservative model. According to the structure of the vector field, one can find linear and exponential stability times, which are established under smallness con- ditions on the parameters. We also provide some applications to concrete examples, which exhibit a linear or exponential stability behavior.
