Abstract: A generalization of the classical Kapitza pendulum is considered: an inverted planar mathematical pendulum with a vertically vibrating pivot point in a time-periodic horizontal force field. We study the existence of forced oscillations in the system. It is shown that there always exists a periodic solution along which the rod of the pendulum never becomes horizontal, i.e. the pendulum never falls, provided the period of vibration and the period of horizontal force are commensurable. We also present a sufficient condition for the existence of at least two different periodic solutions without falling. We show numerically that there exist stable periodic solutions without falling.

Review text

In this paper, a generalization of both the Kapitza and the Whitney pendulum is considered, namely a system of an inverted pendulum with a rapidly vertically oscillating pivot point in a horizontal external nonautonomous force field. The dynamics of the Kapitza-Whitney pendulum is given by \[\ddot x+\mu\dot x+(1+\ddot f(t))\sin x+h(t)\cos x=0.\] In Section 2, the main results are presented. The existence of a periodic solution without falls for the Kapitza-Whitney pendulum is proved. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the existence of two such solutions are presented. A classical theorem on averaging on a finite interval of time [\textit{N. N. Bogoliubov} and \textit{Y. A. Mitropolsky}, Asymptotic methods in the theory of nonlinear oscillations. New York: Gordon \& Breach (1961; Zbl 0151.12201)] is used in the proof. In Section 3, the existence of stable and asymptotically stable periodic solutions without falls is shown numerically. The paper ends with conclusions and possible future research.
