The problem of stabilizing the upper vertical (inverted) position of a pendulum using vibration of the suspension point is considered. The periodic function describing the vibrations of the suspension point is assumed to be arbitrary but possessing small amplitudes, and slight viscous damping is tak

โฆ Synopsis
The stability of the upper equilibrium position of a pendulum when the suspension point makes rapid random oscillations of small amplitude, is investigated. A class of random oscillations that make the system stable with unit probability for small friction is indicated. It is shown that, if there is no friction, there is no stability, which, as is well known, is not the case for harmonic oscillations of the suspension point. Some general results concerning the impossibility of stochastic stabilization of Hamiltonian systems are proved.
