Title: Random and Deterministic Perturbations of Nonlinear Oscillators

Perturbations of Hamiltonian systems are considered. The long-time behavior of such a perturbed system, even in the case of deterministic perturbations, is governed, in general, by a stochastic process on a graph related to the Hamiltonian. We calculate the characteristics of the process for systems with one degree of freedom and consider some applications and generalizations.
