Energy balance method EBM is extended for high-order nonlinear oscillators. To illustrate the effectiveness of the method, a cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator was chosen. The maximum relative errors of the frequencies of the oscillator read 1.25% and 0.6% for the firstand second-order approximation, respectively. The third-order approximation has an accuracy as high as 0.008%. Excellent agreemen...

Analysis of numerical solutions for a system of two van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with nonlinear coupling showed that there exist chaotic switchings (occurring at irregular time intervals) between two oscillatory regimes differing by nearly time-constant phase shifts between the coupled subsystems. The analysis includes the investigation of bifurcations of the periodic motions corresponding t...

The particular properties of synchronization are discussed for coupled auto-oscillating systems, which are characterized by non-quadratic law of potential dependence on the coordinate. In particular, structure of the parameter plane (frequency mismatch – coupling value) is considered for coupled van der Pol – Duffing oscillators. The arrangement of synchronization tongues and the particular pro...

In this paper, we investigate the synchronization of chaotic systems consisting of non-identical parametrically excited oscillators. The active control technique is employed to design control functions based on Lyapunov stability theory and Routh–Hurwitz criteria so as to achieve global chaos synchronization between a parametrically excited gyroscope and each of the parametrically excited pendu...

We propose a scheme to induce chaos in nonlinear oscillators that either are by themselves incapable of exhibiting chaos or are far away from parameter regions of chaotic behaviors. Our idea is to make use of small, judiciously chosen perturbations in the form of weak periodic signals with time-varying frequency and phase, and to drive the system into a hierarchy of nonlinear resonant states an...

Some recent developments for the validation of nonlinear models built from data are reviewed. Besides giving an overall view of the field, a procedure is proposed and investigated based on the concept of dissipative synchronization between the data and the model, which is very useful in validating models that should reproduce dominant dynamical features, like bifurcations, of the original syste...

Accurate detection of weak periodic signals within noise and possibility of secure messaging have made Duffing oscillator (DO) highly important in the field of communication. Investigation on the properties of DO is thus ardently sought for. An elegant approach to accomplish the same is to fabricate electronic circuit simulating DO non-linear equation and to study the effect of input signal amp...

We investigate the influence of additive Gaussian white noise on two different bistable self-sustained oscillators: Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator with hard excitation and a model of a synthetic genetic oscillator. In the deterministic case, both oscillators are characterized with a coexistence of a stable limit cycle and a stable equilibrium state. We find that under the influence of noise, th...
