Abstract:

The elliptic perturbation method is applied to the study of the periodic solutions of strongly quadratic non-linear oscillators of the form x?+c1x+c]2x2=epsilonf(x,x.), in which the Jacobian elliptic functions are employed. The generalized van der Pol equation with f(x,x.)=mu0+mu1x-mu2x2 is studied in detail. Comparisons are made with the solutions obtained by using the Lindstedt-Poincare method and Runge-Kutta method to show the efficiency of the present method. Copyright 1998 Academic Press Limited
