Averaging Theory for Weakly Nonlinear Oscillators

Professor

1:16:08·2014·undergraduate level

This lecture derives averaged equations for the slowly-varying amplitude and phase of weakly nonlinear oscillators. It applies these concepts to the van der Pol oscillator and the Duffing equation, yielding explicit solutions for amplitude dynamics.
