Bifurcations in a mathieu equation with cubic nonlinearities: Part II

摘要

We used the method of averaging in the neighborhood of the 2:1 resonance in the limit of small forcing curl small nonlinearity. We found that a degenerate bifurcation point occurs in the resulting slow flow and some of the bifurcations near this point were looked at. In this work we present additional results concerning the bifurcations around this point using analytic techniques and AUTO. An analytic approximation for a heteroclinic bifurcation curve is obtained. Additional results on the bifurcations of periodic orbits in the slow flow are also presented.
