Energy diffusion and absorption in chaotic systems with rapid periodic driving

When a chaotic, ergodic Hamiltonian system with N degrees of freedom is subject to sufficiently rapid periodic driving, its energy evolves diffusively. We derive a Fokker-Planck equation that governs the evolution of the system's probability distribution in energy space, and we provide explicit...
