Qualitative analysis of certain generalized classes of quadratic oscillator systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We carry out a systematic qualitative analysis of the two quadratic schemes of generalized oscillators recently proposed by C. Quesne [J.Math.Phys. extbf{56},012903 (2015)]. By performing a local analysis of the governing potentials we demonstrate that while the first potential admits a pair of equilibrium points one of which is typically a center for both signs of the coupling strength lambda, the other points to a centre for lambda<0 but a saddle lambda>0. On the other hand, the second potential reveals only a center for both the signs of lambda from a linear stability analysis. We carry out our study by extending Quesne's scheme to include the effects of a linear dissipative term. An important outcome is that we run into a remarkable transition to chaos in the presence of a periodic force term fcosomegat.
