Abstract

A solution is obtained for forced oscillations with nonlinear second-order terms. The stability of this solution is given by its variational equation. The boundary of stability is analyzed by both the perturbation and continued fraction methods. The amplitude of osclllation with damping terms is also determined by the iteration procedure.
