A hyperbolic Lindstedt-Poincare method for homoclinic motion of a kind of strongly nonlinear autonomous oscillators

A hyperbolic Lindstedt-Poincare method is presented to determine the homoclinic solutions of a kind of nonlinear oscillators, in which critical value of the homoclinic bifurcation parameter can be determined. The generalized Lienard oscillator is studied in detail, and the present method's predictio...

Description
Summary:A hyperbolic Lindstedt-Poincare method is presented to determine the homoclinic solutions of a kind of nonlinear oscillators, in which critical value of the homoclinic bifurcation parameter can be determined. The generalized Lienard oscillator is studied in detail, and the present method's predictions are compared with those of Runge-Kutta method to illustrate its accuracy.
