Periodic Motions in a Coupled Van Der Pol-Duffing Oscillator

In this paper, periodic motions of a periodically forced, coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillator are predicted analytically. The coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillator is discretized for the discrete mapping. The periodic motions in such a coupled van der Pol-Duffing oscillator are obtained from specified mapping structures, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analysis are carried out by eigenvalue analysis. Based on the analytical prediction, the initial conditions of periodic motions are used for numerical simulations.
