Abstract

We consider an oscillator with a random mass for which the particles of the surrounding medium adhere to the oscilla- tor for some random time after the collision (Brownian motion with adhesion). This is another form of a stochastic os- cillator, different from oscillator usually studied that is subject to a random force or having random frequency or ran-dom damping. We calculated first two moments for different form of a random force, and studied different resonance phenomena (stochastic resonance, vibration resonance and “erratic” behavior) interposed between order and chaos.
