Singularity analysis of Duffing-van der Pol system with two bifurcation parameters under multi-frequency excitations

Bifurcation properties of a Duffing-van der Pol system with two parameters under multi-frequency excitations are studied. Three cases are discussed:(1)λ1 is considered as bifurcation parameter,(2)λ2 is considered as bifurcation parameter, and(3)λ1 and λ2 are both considered as bifurcation parameters. According to the definition of transition sets, the whole parametric space is divided into several different persistent regions by the transition sets for different cases. The bifurcation diagrams in different persistent regions are obtained, which provides a theoretical basis for optimal design of the system.
