description

Statistical responses in terms of moment and correlation functions of non-linear systems driven by non-normal delta correlated external pulses are derived. The procedure takes full advantage of the perturbation theory approach. Then, by means of a proper coordinate transformation, the system is replaced by a quasi-linear system for which the statistical quantities can be exactly found.
