Quasi-periodic oscillation

Subharmonic resonance in a system of two dissipative coupled van der Pol oscillators with external force

The problem of the excitation of two coupled oscillators is discussed in the case of the simple subharmonic resonance between the external force and eigen-frequencies of the oscillators. The corresponded phase equation is obtained. We showed that the form of the synchronization tongue and transformation of the region of the two-, three-frequency tori by varying the parameter of the coupling between the oscillators is significantly different from the case of the main resonance.
