Resonance of bounded isochronous oscillators (Q1985800)

The author studies resonance conditions for weakly perturbed oscillators of the form \[ \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} + V'(x) = \varepsilon p(t), \] where \(\varepsilon\) is small and \(V(x)\) is a bounded isochronous potential. It is shown that previously known resonance condition produces resonance also for systems with bounded isochronous potential. Resonance is understood as the escape from the period annulus. It it proven that this condition is sufficient for such systems.
