Abstract: In this paper we consider several families of potential non-isochronous systems and study their associated period functions. Firstly, we prove some properties of these functions, like their local behavior near the critical point or infinity, or their global monotonicity. Secondly, we show that these properties are also present when we approach to the same questions using the Harmonic Balance Method.

Review text

This paper is devoted to an examination of the period function \(T(r)\) of the cycle through the point with coordinates \((r, 0)\) at a center of a real analytic planar Hamiltonian system \[ \dot x = -y, \dot y = f(x) \] with particular attention devoted to the cases \[ f(x) = x + x^{2m-1} (m \in {\mathbb N}, m \geqslant 2) \text{ and } f(x) = x / (x^2 + k^2)^m (m \in [1, \infty), k \neq 0). \] It is shown that \(T\) is monotonic, decreasing in the first case, increasing in the second, and expansions of \(T\) are found analytically. The harmonic balance method is the idea of approximating \(T\) by approximating periodic solutions using Fourier series truncated at some order \(N\). It is shown that even for \(N = 1\) approximations \(T_N\) to \(T\) found in this way have behavior sufficiently similar to that of \(T\) to yield significant information about \(T\). Among other things further results are obtained for the first case when \(m = 2\) (the Duffing-harmonic oscillator) and some attention is also devoted to the case of general real analytic \(f\).
