Abstract
The problem of the harmonic oscillator damped proportionally to the velocity is investigated in the de Broglie-Bohm hidden-variable theory. (This system is known to be classically equivalent to a particular type of undamped oscillator with variable mass.) The de Broglie-Bohm equation of motion is solved explicitly and compared with its classical equivalent. The influence of the 'quantum potential' is discussed. In contrast to some other studies of the de Broglie-Bohm theory, the results obtained here are derived without approximation.
