A Few Remarks on the Definition of Duffing's Equations</A>
</H2>
Recall that when we installed Duffing's equations as a time-dependent vector field,
we defined
<!-- MATH: $\sin \omega t$ -->
92#92
as an auxiliary function and claimed that we could
use it to study the time-
<!-- MATH: $2 \pi/\omega$ -->
89#89
stroboscopic map.
In theory, there is nothing wrong with
this, however in practice we will encounter numerical errors in the evaluation of
transcendental functions such as
<!-- MATH: $\sin \omega t$ -->
92#92
for large values of <I>t</I>.
Since we are often interested in generating
Poincaré maps for extremely long times, and since the function
<!-- MATH: $\cos \omega t$ -->
93#93also appears in the definition of our vector field, the user may want to extend phase space
by introducing the variable 94#94.
Then we can rewrite Duffing's
equations in the form
<BR>
95#95
<BR>
where
<!-- MATH: $(u,v,\theta) \in \real^2 \times S^1$ -->
96#96,
and <I>S</I><SUP>1</SUP> is the circle of length
<!-- MATH: $2 \pi/ \omega$ -->
89#89.
That is, 94#94
takes values in
<!-- MATH: $[0, 2 \pi/ \omega)$ -->
97#97.
The problem with this formulation is that DsTool <EM>cannot handle periodic variables
whose length depends on a parameter!</EM> To overcome this difficulty, we change coordinates
via the transformation
<!-- MATH: $\psi = \omega \theta$ -->
98#98.
Thus we could study Duffing's equations
on extended phase space in the form
<A NAME="duff2"> </A>
<BR>
99#99
<BR>
where
<!-- MATH: $(u,v,\psi) \in \real^2 \times S^1$ -->
100#100,
and <I>S</I><SUP>1</SUP> is now the circle of length 82#82.
<P>
The advantage to an extended phase space such as we have for Equation <A HREF="node65.html#duff2"><IMG ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="1" ALT="[*]"
SRC="/usr/lib/latex2html/icons.gif/cross_ref_motif.gif"></A>
is that it is trivial to plot Poincaré sections for this set of equations because we
can make 101#101
a periodic variable. This allows us to request that DsTool only plot
points when
<!-- MATH: $\theta=\theta_0$ -->
102#102
for some 103#103.
In contrast, DsTool <EM>never treats time as a periodic variable</EM>,
so we needed to define the auxiliary function
<!-- MATH: $\sin \omega t$ -->
92#92
in order to be able to generate a
Poincaré map for Duffing's equations.
