Development of stochastic webs in a wave-driven linear oscillator.
01 January 1988
We present developments of stochastic webs in a linear oscillator which is driven by a finite number (N) of external waves with frequency omega sub o (harmonic of the linear oscillator frequency). The expansion of the stochastic domain as functions of the number of waves and their amplitudes is studied numerically. The results with small amplitude waves compares well with the perturbation theory. When the amplitude of external waves is small, a leaf structure which expands with N develops radially in the phase space.
