We investigate a phenomenon observed in systems of the form
where
where Pi, Qi and ε are given constants, and where it is assumed that when ε = 0 this system exhibits a pair of linearly independent solutions of period 2π. Since the driver cos2t has period π, we have the ingredients for a 2:1 subharmonic resonance which typically results in a tongue of instability involving unbounded solutions when ε >0. We present conditions on the coefficients Pi, Qi such that the expected instability does not occur, i.e., the tongue of instability has disappeared.
