Bifurcation diagram of the driven damped pendulum
The diagram shows the Poincare points of a driven damped pendulum described by the equation of motion
d2
/dt2
+ (1/q)d/dt
+ sin
= gcos(
Dt)
where q is the damping factor, g is the driving amplitude and
D is the angular driving frequency.
In the plot above the parameters are q=2 and D=2/3.
