Cubic perturbations of symmetric elliptic Hamiltonians of degree four in a complex domain (Q2335846): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors consider arbitrary one-parameter cubic deformations of the Duffing oscillator \(x''=x-x^3\). Under the hypothesis that the first Melnikov function \(M_1\) is identically zero, they present an explicit formula for the second Melnikov function \(M_2\) and study its zeros in a suitable complex domain.
