Abstract
We study the random concatenation of slightly different two-dimensional Hamiltonian maps with a mixed phase space. We consider a regular island whose fixed point is identical for all maps. Trajectories of the concatenated maps near this fixed point are no longer confined to invariant tori. We derive a stochastic model for the distance from the fixed point, which turns out to be a biased random walk with multiplicative noise. We give an analytical prediction of the survival probability of trajectories inside the regular island, which asymptotically is the product of a power law and an exponential. We confirm these results numerically for the parametrically perturbed standard map.
