Abstract
We study an isolated three-dimensional system composed of a slow one-f reedom system of interest interacting with a soft-chaotic environment. We present numerical evidence that the averaged motion of the slow sy stem is dissipative, though not exactly governed by the Langevin equat ion. An analytical reasoning is proposed to explain the results, circu mventing the unsufficiency of the adiabatic hypothesis.
