In this paper, we investigate bifurcation phenomena, such as those of the periodic solutions, for the 'unperturbed' nonlinear system G(x)x+beta x=0, with G(x) = (alpha +x(2))/ (1 + x(2)) and alpha > 1, beta > 0, when we add the two competing terms -f(t) + gamma x, with f(t) a time-periodic analytic 'forcing' function and gamma > 0 the dissipative parameter. The resulting differential equation G(x)x+beta x+yx-f(t) = 0 describes approximately an electronic system known as the saturating inductor circuit. For any periodic orbit of the unperturbed system, we provide conditions which give rise to the appearance of subharmonic solutions. Furthermore, we show that other bifurcation phenomena arise as there is a periodic solution with the same period as the forcing function f (t) which branches off the origin when the perturbation is switched on. We also show that such a solution, which encircles the origin, attracts the entire phase space when the dissipative parameter becomes large enough. We then compute numerically the basins of attraction of the attractive periodic solutions by choosing specific examples of the forcing function f (t), which are dictated by experience. We provide evidence showing that all the dynamics of the saturating inductor circuit is organized by the persistent subharmonic solutions and by the periodic solution around the origin.

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate bifurcation phenomena, such as those of the periodic solutions, for the 'unperturbed' nonlinear system G(x)x+beta x=0, with G(x) = (alpha +x(2))/ (1 + x(2)) and alpha > 1, beta > 0, when we add the two competing terms -f(t) + gamma x, with f(t) a time-periodic analytic 'forcing' function and gamma > 0 the dissipative parameter. The resulting differential equation G(x)x+beta x+yx-f(t) = 0 describes approximately an electronic system known as the saturating inductor circuit. For any periodic orbit of the unperturbed system, we provide conditions which give rise to the appearance of subharmonic solutions. Furthermore, we show that other bifurcation phenomena arise as there is a periodic solution with the same period as the forcing function f (t) which branches off the origin when the perturbation is switched on. We also show that such a solution, which encircles the origin, attracts the entire phase space when the dissipative parameter becomes large enough. We then compute numerically the basins of attraction of the attractive periodic solutions by choosing specific examples of the forcing function f (t), which are dictated by experience. We provide evidence showing that all the dynamics of the saturating inductor circuit is organized by the persistent subharmonic solutions and by the periodic solution around the origin.
