In this paper, nonlinear systems subjected to external and parametric non-normal delta-correlated stochastic excitations are treated. A new interpretation of the stochastic differential calculus allows first a full explanation of the presence of the Wong-Zakai or Stratonovich correction terms in the Itoˆ’s differential rule. Then this rule is extended to take into account the non-normality of the input. The validity of this formulation is confirmed by experimental results obtained by Monte Carlo simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
