Bifurcation Trees of Period-1 Motion to Chaos in a Duffing Oscillator With Double-Well Potential

In this paper, periodic motions of a periodically forced Duffing oscillator with double-well potential are analytically predicted through implicit discrete mappings. The implicit discrete maps are obtained from discretization of differential equation of the Duffing oscillator. From mapping structures, bifurcation trees of periodic motions are predicted analytically, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis are carried out through eigenvalue analysis. From the analytical prediction, numerical results of periodic motions are performed to verify the analytical prediction.
