Abstract
The complex amplitude modulation equations of a discrete dynamicalsystem are derived under general conditions of simultaneous internal andexternal resonances. Alternative forms of the real amplitude and phaseequations are critically discussed. First, the most popular polar formis considered. Its properties, known in literature for a multitude ofspecific problems, are here proven for the general case. Moreover, thedrawbacks encountered in the stability analysis of incomplete motions(i.e. motions containing some zero amplitudes) are discussed as aconsequence of the fact the equations are not in standard normal form.Second, a so-called Cartesian rotating form is introduced, which makesit possible to evaluate periodic solutions and analyze their stability,even if they are incomplete. Although the rotating form calls for theenlargement of the space and is not amenable to analysis of transientmotions, it systematically justifies the change of variables sometimesused in literature to avoid the problems of the polar form. Third, amixed polar-Cartesian form is presented. Starting from the hypothesisthat there exists a suitable number of amplitudes which do not vanish inany motion, it is proved that the mixed form leads to standard formequations with the same dimension as the polar form. However, if suchprincipal amplitudes do not exist, more than one standard form equationshould be sought. Finally, some illustrative examples of the theory arepresented.
