Duffing Differential EquationThe most general forced form of the Duffing equation is
 | (1) |
If there is no forcing, the right side vanishes, leaving
 | (2) |
If and we take the plus sign,
 | (3) |
This equation can display chaotic behavior. For , the equation represents a ``hard spring,'' and for , it represents a ``soft spring.'' If , the phase portrait curves are closed.Returning to (1),take , , , and use the minus sign. Then the equation is

(Ott 1993, p. 3). This can be written as a system of first-orderordinary differential equations by writing
The fixed points of these differential equations
so , and
giving . Differentiating,
 | (11) |
Examine the stability of the point (0,0):
 | (12) |
 | (13) |
But , so is real. Since , there will always be onePositive Root, so this fixed point is unstable. Now look at ( , 0).
 | (14) |
 | (15) |
For , , so the point is asymptotically stable. If , , so the point is linearly stable. If , the radical gives anImaginary Part and the Real Part is , so the point is unstable. If , , which has a Positive Real Root, so the point is unstable. If , then , so both Roots are Positive and the point is unstable. The following table summarizes these results. | asymptotically stable |  | linearly stable (superstable) |  | unstable |
Now specialize to the case , which can be integrated by quadratures.In this case, the equations become
Differentiating (16) and plugging in (17) gives
 | (18) |
Multiplying both sides by gives
 | (19) |
 | (20) |
so we have an invariant of motion ,
 | (21) |
Solving for gives
 | (22) |
 | (23) |
so
 | (24) |
Note that the invariant of motion satisfies
 | (25) |
 | (26) |
so the equations of the Duffing oscillator are given by the Hamiltonian System
