Abstract
An oscillator of the form q̇(t)+2ζq̇(t)+q(t)=-κ[q(t)- q(t-r)] is unstable when the strength of the feedback (κ) is greater than a critical value (κc). Oscillations of constant amplitude persist when κ=κc. We study the almost-sure asymptotic stability of the oscillator when κ=κc and the system is excited by a two-state Markov noise. For small intensity noise, we construct an asymptotic expansion for the maximal Lyapunov exponent.
