Abstract

In this paper, we consider a class of almost periodically forced harmonic oscillators

$$\begin{aligned} \ddot{x}+\tau ^2 x=\epsilon f(t,x) \end{aligned}$$

where \(\tau \in {{\mathcal {A}}}\) with \({{\mathcal {A}}}\) being a closed interval not containing zero, the forcing term f is real analytic almost periodic functions in t with the infinite frequency \(\omega =(\cdots ,\omega _\lambda ,\cdots )_{\lambda \in {{\mathbb {Z}}}}\). Using the modified Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser (or KAM Arnold (Uspehi Mat. Nauk 18(5 (113)):13–40, 1963), Moser (Nachr. Akad. Wiss. Göttingen Math.-Phys. Kl. II 1962:1–20 1962), Kolmogorov (Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR (N.S.) 98:527–530 1954)) theory about the lower dimensional tori, we show that there exists a positive Lebesgue measure set of \(\tau \) contained in \({{\mathcal {A}}}\) such that the harmonic oscillators has almost periodic solutions with the same frequencies as f. The result extends the earlier research results with the forcing term f being quasi-periodic.

Notes

  1. See the definition 2.1 in Sect. 2.

  2. We call an equation \({\dot{x}}=f(x)\) is reversible, if its vector field satisfies that \(f(G(x))=-DG\cdot f(x)\), where \(G\circ G=id.\)
