Exact and approximate solutions for the anti-symmetric quadratic truly nonlinear oscillator

作者:

Highlights:

• The exact solution of the anti-symmetric quadratic truly nonlinear oscillator was expressed as a piecewise function.

• The Fourier coefficients of the exact solution were computed numerically and we showed these decrease rapidly.

• Using just a few of Fourier coefficients provides an accurate analytical representation of the exact periodic solution.

• Analytical approximate solutions are built up containing only two harmonics as well as a rational harmonic representation.

• The two-harmonic representation is more accurate than the rational harmonic representation.
