In this paper we discuss a recent application of a variational homotopy perturbation method to rather simple nonlinear oscillators . We show that the main equations are inconsistent and for that reason the results may be of scarce utility.
An astonishingly simple analytical frequency approximation formula for a class of strongly nonlinear oscillators is derived and applied to various example systems yielding useful quick estimates.

We propose an alternative approach that avoids the nonlinear equations for the Fourier coefficients that appear in the method of harmonic balance. We apply it to two simple illustrative examples.
In this paper, we investigate the integrability aspects of a physically important nonlinear oscillator which lacks sufficient number of Lie point symmetries but can be integrated by quadrature. We explore the hidden symmetry, construct a…
The models we use, habitually, to describe quantum nonlinear optical processes have been remarkably successful yet, with few exceptions, they each contain a mathematical flaw. We present this flaw, show how it can be fixed and, in the…

We study limit cycles of nonlinear oscillators described by the equation $\ddot x + \nu F(\dot x) + x =0$. Depending on the nonlinearity this equation may exhibit different number of limit cycles. We show that limit cycles correspond to…

The response of a coupled array of nonlinear oscillators to parametric excitation is calculated in the weak nonlinear limit using secular perturbation theory. Exact results for small arrays of oscillators are used to guide the analysis of…
This study shows that typical pendulum dynamics is far from the simple equation of motion presented in textbooks. A reasonably complete damping model must use nonlinear terms in addition to the common linear viscous expression. In some…
This article discusses several erroneous claims which appear in textbooks on numerical methods and computational physics. These are not typos or mistakes an individual author has made, but widespread misconceptions. In an attempt to stop…
It has been found that some text-books show LC-oscillators that may not work as assumed. Thus, the typical example showing a LC-oscillator driven by a voltage operational-amplifier is simply wrong. The difficulty stems from the fact that…
