The significant advances in nonlinear stochastic dynamics and control in Hamiltonian formulation during the past decade are reviewed. The exact stationary solutions and equivalent nonlinear system method of Gaussian-white -noises excited and dissipated Hamiltonian systems, the stochastic averaging method for quasi Hamiltonian systems, the stochastic stability, stochastic bifurcation, first-passage time and nonlinear stochastic optimal control of quasi Hamiltonian systems are summarized. Possible extension and applications of the theory are pointed out. This review article cites 158 references.

A survey of stochastic averaging methods in random vibration is given. After a brief introduction to the basic ideas, the advantages and the history of the methods, three kinds of stochastic averaging methods are formulated, and their applicability and recent developments are stated. In the second part, the applications of the methods in response prediction, stability decision, and reliability estimation of randomly excited nonlinear and parametric systems are reviewed. The possibility of further developments and applications of the methods is also pointed out.

The Fractional Complex Transform is extended to solve exactly time-fractional differential equations with the modified Riemann-Liouville derivative. How to incorporate suitable boundary/initial conditions is also discussed

A stochastic averaging method is proposed to predict approximately the response of multi-degree-of-freedom quasi-nonintegrable-Hamiltonian systems (nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems with lightly linear and (or) nonlinear dampings and subject to weakly external and (or) parametric excitations of Gaussian white noises). According to the present method, a one-dimensional approximate Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation for the transition probability density of the Hamiltonian can be constructed and the probability density and statistics of the stationary response of the system can be readily obtained. The method is compared with the equivalent nonlinear system method for stochastically excited and dissipated nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems and extended to a more general class of systems. An example is given to illustrate the application and validity of the present method and the consistency of the present method and the equivalent nonlinear system method.
