Abstract

The dynamic behavior close to a non-resonant double Hopf bifurcation is analyzed via a frequency-domain technique. Approximate expressions of the periodic solutions are computed using the higher order harmonic balance method while their accuracy and stability have been evaluated through the calculation of the multipliers of the monodromy matrix. Furthermore, the detection of secondary Hopf or torus bifurcations (Neimark–Sacker bifurcation for maps) close to the analyzed singularity has been obtained for a coupled electrical oscillatory circuit. Then, quasi-periodic solutions are likely to exist in certain regions of the parameter space. Extending this analysis to the unfolding of the 1:1 resonant double Hopf bifurcation, cyclic fold and torus bifurcations have also been detected in a controlled oscillatory coupled electrical circuit. The comparison of the results obtained with the suggested technique, and with continuation software packages, has been included.
