We present some sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of force
d almost-periodic oscillations in nonlinear systems subject to small hyster
esis perturbations. The main technical restriction on hysteresis nonlineari
ty comes to a contraction-type property, which holds for some classical mod
els of hysteresis. Also we require a special stability property of the unpe
rturbed system in the sense of Lyapunov and the bounded input - bounded out
put.
