A Perturbative Analysis of Nonlinear Cubic-Quintic Duffing Oscillators

Abstract

Duffing oscillators comprise one of the canonical examples of Hamilton systems. The presence of a quintic term makes the cubic-quintic Duffing oscillator more complex and interesting to study. In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is used to obtain the analytical solution for the nonlinear cubic-quintic Duffing oscillators. The HAM helps to obtain the frequency omega in the form of approximation series of a convergence control parameter (h) over bar. The valid region of (h) over bar is determined by plotting the omega - (h) over bar curve and afterwards we compared the obtained results with the exact solutions.
