Title:

Basin Explosions and Escape Phenomena in the Twin-Well Duffing Oscillator : Compound Global Bifurcations Organizing Behaviour

Date of publication:

Feb. 1990

Key words:

Basin explosion, Escape from a potential well, Codimension-two global bifurcation, Compound global bifurcation

Abstract:

The sinusoidally driven, twin-well Duffing oscillator has become a central archetypal model for studies of chaos and fractal basin boundaries in the nonlinear dynamics of dissipative ordinary differential equations. It can also be used to illustrate and elucidate universal features of the escape from a potential well, the jumps from one-well to cross-well motions displaying similar characteristics to those recently charted for the cubic one-well potential. We identify here some new codimension two global bifurcations which serve to organize the bifurcation set and structure the releted basin explosions and escape phenomena
