Frequency control of singularly perturbed forced Duffing's oscillator (Q652652)

Attention is focused on nonlinear oscillations in the context of the singularly perturbed forced oscillator of Duffing's type with a nonlinear restoring force \[ \epsilon^2(a^2(t)y')^{'}+f(y)=m(t), \quad 0<\epsilon\ll 1, \] where \(a(\cdot), m(\cdot)\) are \(C^1\)-functions on a given interval and \(f(\cdot)\) is a \(C^1\)-function on \(\mathbb R\). The appearance of large frequency nonlinear oscillations of the solutions is explained. It is shown that the frequency can be controlled by a small parameter at the highest derivative. Analytical approximations to the double-well Duffing oscillator in large amplitude oscillations are derived. A new method for the analysis of nonlinear oscillations which is based on a dynamic change of coordinates is proposed.
