Nonlinear analysis of a classical double oscillator model

Classical Physics 2021-08-26 v2 Chaotic Dynamics

Abstract

A classical double oscillator model, that includes in certain parameter limits, the standard harmonic oscillator and the inverse oscillator, is interpreted as a dynamical system. We study its essential features and make a qualitative analysis of orbits around the equilibrium points, period-doubling bifurcation, time series curves, surfaces of section and Poincare maps. An interesting outcome of our findings is the emergence of chaotic behavior when the system is confronted with a periodic force term like fcos{\omega}t.
