Pb. Chapman, PERTURBATIONS OF NONLINEAR AUTONOMOUS OSCILLATORS, Journal of the Australian Mathematical Society. Series B. Applied mathematics, 35, 1994, pp. 445-468
A general theory is given for autonomous perturbations of non-linear a
utonomous second order oscillators. It is found using a multiple scale
s method. A central part of it requires computation of Fourier coeffic
ients for representation of the underlying oscillations, and these coe
fficients are found as convergent expansions in a suitable parameter.
