Abstract
The dispersion parameter of the prehistory distribution for a potentia l system driven by white noise is analyzed theoretically and by means of analog and digital experiments. Nonmonotonic evolution of the dispe rsion with time is shown to arise provided that the potential fulfills a certain condition. It does not necessitate the existence of an unst able point, but can occur in single-minimum potentials, both symmetric and asymmetric.
