Problems 7
1. Consider the problem
x.. + x + μx2 = 0 , 0 < μ << 1 , x(0; μ) = 1, x.(0; μ) = 0 .
(a) Show that x.2 = (1− x) (1+ x + 23 μ(1+ x + x2 )) .
Hence sketch the trajectory in the phase plane and deduce that the motion is periodic.
(b) Show that the straightforward expansion for x is
x(t ; μ) = cost + μ −
+ μ2 sint − )+ . . . and deduce that the region of non-uniformity is t = O(1μ .
(c) Using the method of renormalisation with
t = T(1+ f1μ+ f2μ2 + ...)
show that the s.e. in (a) can be rendered uniform, and show that a uniform expansion is x = cosT + μ −
+ μ2 − ) + . . . where t = T(12 + . . .) .
(d) Apply Linstedt’s method to this problem with
x(t ; μ) = X(T ; μ) , T = t(1+ w1 μ+ w2 μ2 + ...) to deduce the uniformly valid
expansion in (c).
(You will show that w1 = 0 , w2 = − 512 .)
2. (FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA4AM. NOT FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA3AM.) Apply the method of multiple scales to Duffing’s equation
x.. + x + μx3 = 0 , 0 < μ<< 1 , x(0; μ) = 1 , x.(0; μ) = 0
with slow variable/scale ξ = μt , fast variable/scale η= t(1+ w2 μ2 + ...) to deduce the uniformly valid expansion
x(t ; μ) = cos(
where ξ = μt , η= t(1+ O(μ )), and C
[Note: Write the solution for x0 in the form. C0 (ξ) cos(η+ φ0 (ξ)) and deduce that
C0 (0) = 1, φ0 (0) = 0 . Then show that C0 (ξ) 三 1, φ0 (ξ) = 38 ξ. Deduce the conditions above on C1,φ1 , but do not attempt to find C1 (ξ) , φ1 (ξ) or w2.]
3. Consider the problem
x.. + x = μ(1- x2 )x. , 0 < μ<< 1 .
(a) Show that the straightforward expansion only gives a uniformly valid solution for the limit cycle solution
x = 2 cos(t + α0 ) + μ(c1 cos(t + α1 ) - (α0 ,α1 , c1 constants).
Hint: Review Problem Sheet 1: Question 2 & its Solution.
(FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA4AM. NOT FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA3AM.) (b) Use the method of multiple scales to deduce the solution
where K, φ0 are constants, ξ = μt , η= t (1+ O(μ2 )) .
(Note: Write the solution for X0 as in Question 2, and deduce that φ0 (ξ) = constant .) (FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA4AM. NOT FOR STUDENTS TAKING MA3AM.)
(c) Show that if x(0; μ) = 0 , x.(0; μ) = 6 then K = , φ0 = - .
4. Consider the problem
x.. + x + x3 = 0
where x is ‘small’ . By letting the value of x at t = 0 be μ, where 0 < μ<< 1, and x. = 0 at t = 0, i.e. x(0) = μ, x.(0) = 0 , and expanding: x(t) = μx1 (t) + μ2x2 (t) + μ3x3 (t) + ... find
(a) the straightforward expansion, (b) a uniform expansion by Linstedt’smethod, (c) a uniform. expansion by rendering the expansion in (a) uniform. using renormalisation.
