Abstract

We consider a random perturbation of a two-dimensional Hamiltonian system with an isolated elliptic fixed point; that is, a center. Under an appropriate change of time, we identify a reduced stochastically-averaged model. We give a rigorous proof of averaging at the center. Our main technique is to use the martingale problem. Our formulation of the result is in a sufficiently abstract setting that it agrees with more complicated averaging results.
