The theoretical (fundamental) investi- gation reveals their rich and complex behavior, and the experimental (self-exeited oscillators) describes the evolution of ‘many biological, chemical, physical, mechanical, and industrial systems [1-3]. Recently, the chaotic behavior of these oscillators is exploited in the field of communication for coding information [4]. The periodically forced Rayleigh equation has been exten- sively studied inthe investigation ofthe response of a selfexcited oscillator when it is driven by a periodic force [2]. tis the first model of irregular oscillations (transient chaos or “ghost solu- tions") of differential equations [5,6].

This paper aims at the following: (a) considers the dynamics of the system; (b) contributes to the general understanding of the behav= jor of the system and points out some of its unknown behavior and (c) experimental investigation of the dynamics of the system.

Equation (1a) when f(2)=0 exhibits a sinusoidal behavior for small e; and leads to a relaxation oscillation for large ¢. The latter is suited for the control in systems with input stimulus (that produces a response of fixed amplitude) but adaptable frequency for repetition rate.

Considering the resonant case, we analyze the effects of the amplitudes k; and ky and those of the detuning parameter on the oscllator’s behavior.

This has raised the question ofthe stability of these solutions and therefore justifies the interest devoted to Sec. 2.3, 23. Stability of Periodic Oscillations. The stability of peri- odie oscillations is investigated in the «ra, kya, and kza planes. We use first the perturbation method (x—x+8) to obtain the varia- tional form of Eqs. (1). The dissipative coefficient of the varia- tional equation is expressed in terms of the solution x defined in Eq, (3). Letting €=y(#)exp(-u(2)), u(e) and y(1) being real func- tions, itis found that periodic solutions y(t) are obtainable from the following equation: 17s obtained from Eq, (4c). Assuming thatthe characteristic ex- ponent is associated with the first and second unstable regions [2], ‘we can establish the following Hill's equation (considering Eqs (3) and (11): tol oad tnetoar-on) reo (2) In its derivation, terms of e; higher than second order are ignored since our analysis is restricted to the case of small nonlinearity. The quantities 0, 8, 2, e21. and 9 are expressed in terms of the parameters of Eqs.

Henee, the stability conditions are siven (in terms of the parameters of Eqs.

We restrict our analysis tothe verif- cation of the analytical results obtained in the resonant case. We use the discret Fourier transform (DFT) to determine ({rom Eqs (1)) numerical values of the amplitudes a in the resonant state and some numerical results are provided (see star lines in Fig 2-4) for the same values of the system parameters in Sec. 2. Figure 2 shows the numerical frequeney-response curves in terms ff the detuning parameter a both for &,=0,015 and f, =0.050. From this figure, there is an agreement between the analytical and rhumerical results, although a divergence is observed for some points, This divergence can be explained by the occurrence of the hharmonie frequency entrainment phenomenon in the quasiperiodi- cally forced Rayleigh oscillator. Figure 3 shows some numerical Points of the amplitude-response curves in terms of &; when 0.003 and =0.008. It clearly shows (in the domain of stable oscillations) a good agreement between the analytical and numer cal results. We found a divergence between the results for both ‘methods in the domain of unstable oscillations when =0.003, In Fig. 4 some numerical points of the amplitude-response curves are shown in terms of kz when ky =0.005 and k}=0.008, Hepe a very good agreement (in the stability regions) between numerical and analytical results and a divergence (in the instability regions) be- tween the two methods, are clearly shown. It should be noted that the rate of divergence decreases with increasing a. Hence, this divergence can also be explained by the occurrence of the har- monic frequency entrainment phenomenon in the forced Rayleigh oscillator. 3.2 Chaotic Behavior. Here, the types of motion are identi- fied using two indicators. The first indicator is the bifurcation diagram, the second being the largest ID numerical Lyapunov ‘exponent denoted by [M20] (ane YealZ)) ow as = and computed from the variational equation obtained by perturb- ing the solution of Eqs, (1) as follows: x—+€. d(t) is the dis- tance between neighboring trajectories.
