The nonlinearly damped oscillator

Juan Luis Vázquez (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the large-time behaviour of the nonlinear oscillator m x ' ' + f ( x ' ) + k x = 0 , where m , k > 0 and f is a monotone real function representing nonlinear friction. We are interested in understanding the long-time effect of a nonlinear damping term, with special attention to the model case f ( x ' ) = A | x ' | α - 1 x ' with α real, A > 0 . We characterize the existence and behaviour of fast orbits, i.e., orbits that stop in finite time.

Retracts, fixed point index and differential equations.

Rafael Ortega (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

Some problems in differential equations evolve towards Topology from an analytical origin. Two such problems will be discussed: the existence of solutions asymptotic to the equilibrium and the stability of closed orbits of Hamiltonian systems. The theory of retracts and the fixed point index have become useful tools in the study of these questions.

Unbounded solutions of positively damped Liénard equations

Changming Ding (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

This paper discusses the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the Liénard equation, especially the global behavior of unbounded solutions, and also gives a class of sufficient and necessary conditions for the orbit of a solution to intersect the vertical isocline.
