Abstract: We determine an approximate renormalized phase space evolution equation for an arbitrary multi-degree-of-freedom system externally driven by Gaussian parametric fluctuations having finite correlation times. Our method yields a second-order equation with a state- and time-dependent diffusion tensor. As a particular example we study a linear oscillator with a fluctuating frequency and a fluctuating driving force, both having a finite correlation time. We show that the finite correlation time of the frequency fluctuations has a stabilizing effect on the oscillator.
