Dynamical behavior in coupled systems of J-J type (Q1813343)

A system of two nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations describing the dynamical behavior of two coupled semiconductor Josephson junctions, is considered. One proves the existence of a global attractor in which there exists a unique invariant ``restricted horizontal'' curve. This curve consists of all the equilibrium points and their unstable manifolds. In other cases this curve is a periodic orbit or is globally attracting. Finally, the case of a periodic external force is considered.
