Theory of Exact Trigonometric Periodic Solutions to Quadratic Liénard Type Equations
- 1 University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin
Abstract
A mathematical theory is developed through generalized Sundman transformation to show the existence of classes of quadratic Liénard type equations which admit exact and explicit general trigonometric solutions but with amplitude-dependent frequency. The application of the theory to compute also exact and explicit general periodic solutions to nonlinear differential equations like inverted Painlevé-Gambier equations in terms of trigonometric or Jacobian elliptic functions is highlighted by some illustrative examples.
