Bifurcations of periodic solutions and chaos in Josephson system with parametric excitation (Q2355350)

This paper deals with a Josephson system of the following form \[ \ddot x= -\alpha(\cos x +2k\cos 2x)\dot x -\sin x-k\sin 2x +\beta + f \cos x\cos \omega t. \] The equation is analysed by using Melnikov functions and the averaging method. These considerations are supplemented by numerical simulations. This paper continues earlier work by Jing (et al.), (cf. [\textit{J.
