In the sixties, Loud obtained interesting results of continuation on periodic solutions in driven nonlinear oscillators with small parameter (Loud, 1964). In this paper Loud’s results are extended out for periodically driven Duffing equations with odd symmetry quantifying the continuation parameter for a periodic odd solution which is elliptic and emanates from the equilibrium of the nonperturbed problem.

We consider a class of parametrically driven nonlinear oscillators: x¨ + k1x + k2f(x,x˙)P(Ωt) = 0, P(Ωt + 2π) = P(Ωt)(*) which can be used to describe, e.g., a pendulum with vibrating length, or the displacements of colliding particle beams in high energy accelerators. Here we study numerically and analytically the subharmonic periodic solutions of (*), with frequency 1/m ≅ √k1, m = 1, 2, 3,…. In the cases of f(x,x˙) = x3 and f(x,x˙) = x4, with P(Ωt) = cost, all of these so called synchronized periodic orbits are obtained numerically, by a new technique, which we refer to here as the indicatrix method. The theory of generalized averaging is then applied to derive highly accurate expressions for these orbits, valid to the second order in k2. Finally, these analytical results are used, together with the perturbation methods of multiple time scaling, to obtain second order expressions for regions of instability of synchronized periodic orbits in the k1, k2 plane, which agree very well with the results of numerical experiments.

AbstractIn a vicinity of a stationary solution we consider a real analytic system of ODE of order four, depending on a small parameter. We look for families of periodic solutions which contract to the stationary solution, when the parameter tends to zero. We apply the general methods developed in [2] for the study of complex bifurcations and in [4] for local resolutions of singularities.

The question discussed in this study concerns one of the most helpful approximation methods, namely, the expansion of a solution of a differential equation in a series in powers of a small parameter. We used the Lindstedt-Poincaré perturbation method to construct a solution closer to uniformly valid asymptotic expansions for periodic solutions of second-order nonlinear differential equations.

Periodically driven strictly dissipative nonlinear oscillators in general possess a recurring bifurcation structure in parameter space. It consists of slightly modified versions of a basic pattern of bifurcation curves that was found to be essentially the same for many different oscillators. The periodic orbits involved in these bifurcation scenarios also possess common topological properties characterized in terms of their torsion numbers and the way they are connected when parameters are varied. In this paper, this typical bifurcation structure of periodically driven strictly dissipative oscillators will be presented and discussed in terms of examples from Duffing’s equation. Furthermore a family of two-dimensional maps is given that models (strictly) dissipative oscillators and shows essential features of the bifurcation pattern found.
