Consider the Mathieu's Equation:
$$fracd^2udt^2+[omega^2 + 2epsilon cos(2t)]u=0$$ with $u(0)=1$ and $u'(0)=0$



What I have done is, assume $u(t)=u_0(t)+epsilon u_1(t)+cdots$, substitute into the DE, and we get
$$u_0(t)=cos(omega t)$$ and $$u_1(t)=frac(1-omega)cos[(2+omega)t]-2cos(omega t)+(1+omega)cos[(2-omega)t]4-4omega^2$$.



The question is, what modes are resonant at order $epsilon$? and what frequencies are resonant at the next order (i think it means order $epsilon^2$)?



What are the definition of modes and resonance in this problem? I have no idea how to proceed because I do not know the definition. Can anyone tell me what does it mean by "modes" and "resonant"? Moreover, What is "frequency" here? The problem is just an ODE, where does the word "frequency" come from?

  • At resonance the value of the function goes to infinity. The modes are typically orthogonal functions whose linear combinations add up to $u(t)$. Note sure whether $u_0$ and $u_1$ are orthogonal in this case.

You can rewrite the last formula as
$$
u_1(t)=fracsin(ωt)2left(fracsin((1-ω)t)1-ω-fracsin((1+ω)t)1+ωright)
$$
which under $ωto1$ has the limit
$$
u_1(t)=fracsin(t)2left(t-fracsin(2t)2right)
$$
which is growing without bound.



As $u_1$ has frequencies $2+ω$, $ω$ and $|2-ω|$, the multiplication with a frequency $2$ term will lead to terms with frequencies $4+ω$, $2+ω$, $ω$, $|2-ω|$ and $|4-ω|$. Resonance happens when two of these frequencies fall together, which is at $ω=2$ and again at $ω=1$.
