Abstract
We consider the problem of decoherence for a harmonic oscillator evolving under a generalized dynamics. In particular we study the behavior of a decoherence measure around the initial time when the system is initially prepared in a pure state. In addition we calculate exacts analytical solutions for the linear entropy in some particular cases.
