Exact Solutions and Integrability of the Duffing – Van der Pol Equation

The force-free Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator is considered. The truncated expansions for finding the solutions are used to look for exact solutions of this nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Conditions on parameter values of the equation are found to have the linearization of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation. The Painlevé test for this equation is used to study the integrability of the model. Exact solutions of this differential equation are found. In the special case the approach is simplified to demonstrate that some well-known methods can be used for finding exact solutions of nonlinear differential equations. The first integral of the Duffing–Van der Pol equation is found and the general solution of the equation is given in the special case for parameters of the equation. We also demonstrate the efficiency of the method for finding the first integral and the general solution for one of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations.     

Anharmonic oscillator systems

The anharmonic oscillator is solved quickly, easily, and elegantly by Adomian's methods for solution of nonlinear stochastic differential equations emphasizing its applicability to nonlinear deterministic equations as well as stochastic equations. No difficulty is encountered in treating the case of the forced anharmonic oscillator or the stochastic case or of any nonlinear oscillating system such as the Duffing or Van der Pol oscillators, for example, with coefficients, as well as forcing functions, which are stochastic processes, since statistical separability is inherent in the Adomian method.     

Using the phase plane and the computer for the study of systems dynamics

Because of their graphics capabilities, it is possible to use personal computers to analyse the behaviour of dynamical systems. We therefore require a way to introduce pedagogically both this technique and the important aspects of the study of non‐linear systems. This paper considers first the formal points of the phase plane method, and then presents three relevant examples: (a) second order linear systems; (b) the Van der Pol oscillator; and (c) the forced pendulum. In each case programs in Turbo‐Pascal are given for plotting the trajectories.     

Parametric analysis of the oscillatory solutions to stochastic differential equations with the Wiener and Poisson components by the Monte Carlo method

Using the Monte Carlo method, we address the influence of the Wiener and Poisson random noises on the behavior of oscillatory solutions to systems of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). For the linear and Van der Pol oscillators, we study the accuracy of estimates of the functionals of numerical solutions to SDEs obtained by the generalized explicit Euler method. For a linear oscillator, we obtain the exact analytical expressions for the mathematical expectation and the variance of the SDE solution. These expressions allow us to investigate the dependence of the accuracy of estimates of the solution moments on the values of SDE parameters, the size of meshsize, and the ensemble of simulated trajectories of the solution. For the Van der Pol oscillator, we study the dependence of the frequency and the damping rate of the oscillations of the mathematical expectation of SDE solution on the values of parameters of the Poisson component. The results of the numerical experiments are presented.     

Analytical solution for Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

In this paper, the problem of single-well, double-well and double-hump Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator is studied. Governing equation is solved analytically using a new kind of analytic technique for nonlinear problems namely the “Homotopy Analysis Method” (HAM), for the first time. Present solution gives an expression which can be used in wide range of time for all domain of response. Comparisons of the obtained solutions with numerical results show that this method is effective and convenient for solving this problem. This method is a capable tool for solving this kind of nonlinear problems.     

Haar wavelet solutions of nonlinear oscillator equations

In this paper, we present a numerical scheme using uniform Haar wavelet approximation and quasilinearization process for solving some nonlinear oscillator equations. In our proposed work, quasilinearization technique is first applied through Haar wavelets to convert a nonlinear differential equation into a set of linear algebraic equations. Finally, to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, it has been applied on three type of nonlinear oscillators namely Duffing, Van der Pol, and Duffing–van der Pol. The obtained responses are presented graphically and compared with available numerical and analytical solutions found in the literature. The main advantage of uniform Haar wavelet series with quasilinearization process is that it captures the behavior of the nonlinear oscillators without any iteration. The numerical problems are considered with force and without force to check the efficiency and simple applicability of method on nonlinear oscillator problems.

参外激励下强非线性广义Van der Pol方程的亚谐共振解（英文）

In this paper a modified L-P method and multiple scale method are used to solve sub-harmonic resonance solutions of strong and nonlinear resonance of general Van der Pol equation with parametric and external excitations by parametric transformation. Bifurcation response equation and transition sets of sub-harmonic resonance with strong nonlinearity of general Van der Pol equation with parametric and external excitation are worked out.Besides, transition sets and bifurcation graphs are drawn to help to analysis the problems theoretically. Conclusions show that the transition sets of general and nonlinear Van der Pol equation with parametric and external excitations are more complex than those of general and nonlinear Van der Pol equation only with parametric excitation, which is helpful for the qualitative and quantitative reference for engineering and science applications.

A homotopy analysis method for limit cycle of the van der Pol oscillator with delayed amplitude limiting

In this work, a powerful analytical method, called Liao’s homotopy analysis method is used to study the limit cycle of a two-dimensional nonlinear dynamical system, namely the van der Pol oscillator with delayed amplitude limiting. It is shown that the solutions are valid for a wide range of variation of the system parameters. Comparison of the obtained solutions with those achieved by numerical solutions and by other perturbation techniques shows that the utilized method is effective and convenient to solve this type of problems with the desired order of approximation.     

Bifurcations, chaos and synchronization in ADVP circuit with parallel resistor

In this work we investigate the dynamical behaviors of Van der Pol-Duffing circuit (ADVP) with parallel resistor. The model is described by a continuous-time three dimensional autonomous system. The stability conditions of the equilibria are analyzed. The existence of periodic solutions and their stabilities about the node equilibrium point of the system are studied by using Hopf's theorem and Hsü and Kazarinoff theorem. Lyapunov spectrum is calculated for the proposed system. Adaptive synchronization using backstepping design is applied successfully to the system. Chaotic behaviors and the efficiency of the synchronization method are verified by numerical simulations.     

Multiple bifurcation trees of period-1 motions to chaos in a periodically forced,time-delayed,hardening Duffing oscillator

In this paper, bifurcation trees of periodic motions in a periodically forced, time-delayed, hardening Duffing oscillator are analytically predicted by a semi-analytical method. Such a semi-analytical method is based on the differential equation discretization of the time-delayed, nonlinear dynamical system. Bifurcation trees for the stable and unstable solutions of periodic motions to chaos in such a time-delayed, Duffing oscillator are achieved analytically. From the finite discrete Fourier series, harmonic frequency-amplitude curves for stable and unstable solutions of period-1 to period-4 motions are developed for a better understanding of quantity levels, singularity and catastrophes of harmonic amplitudes in the frequency domain. From the analytical prediction, numerical results of periodic motions in the time-delayed, hardening Duffing oscillator are completed. Through the numerical illustrations, the complexity and asymmetry of period-1 motions to chaos in nonlinear dynamical systems are strongly dependent on the distributions and quantity levels of harmonic amplitudes. With the quantity level increases of specific harmonic amplitudes, effects of the corresponding harmonics on the periodic motions become strong, and the certain complexity and asymmetry of periodic motion and chaos can be identified through harmonic amplitudes with higher quantity levels.

In this paper, we propose some algorithms for the simulation of the distribution of certain diffusions conditioned on a terminal point. We prove that the conditional distribution is absolutely continuous with respect to the distribution of another diffusion which is easy for simulation, and the formula for the density is given explicitly. An example of parameter estimation for a Duffing–Van der Pol oscillator is given as an application.

Oscillatory region and asymptotic solution of fractional van der Pol oscillator via residue harmonic balance technique

In this paper, a powerfully analytical technique is proposed for predicting and generating the steady state solution of the fractional differential system based on the method of harmonic balance. The zeroth-order approximation using just one Fourier term is applied to predict the parametric function for the boundary between oscillatory and non-oscillatory regions of the fractional van der Pol oscillator. The unbalanced residues due to Fourier truncation are considered iteratively by solving linear algebraic equations to improve the accuracy of the solutions successively. The highly accurate solutions to the angular frequency and limit cycle of fractional van der Pol oscillator are obtained and compared. The results reveal that the technique described in this paper is very effective and simple for obtaining asymptotic solution of nonlinear system having fractional order derivative.

On algorithms for estimating computable error bounds for approximate periodic solutions of an autonomous delay differential equation

Machine tool chatter has been characterized as isolated periodic solutions or limit cycles of delay differential equations. Determining the amplitude and frequency of the limit cycle is sometimes crucial to understanding and controlling the stability of machining operations. In Gilsinn [Gilsinn DE. Computable error bounds for approximate periodic solutions of autonomous delay differential equations, Nonlinear Dyn 2007;50:73–92] a result was proven that says that, given an approximate periodic solution and frequency of an autonomous delay differential equation that satisfies a certain non-criticality condition, there is an exact periodic solution and frequency in a computable neighborhood of the approximate solution and frequency. The proof required the estimation of a number of parameters and the verification of three inequalities. In this paper the details of the algorithms will be given for estimating the parameters required to verify the inequalities and to compute the final approximation errors. An application will be given to a Van der Pol oscillator with delay in the non-linear terms.
