Abstract
The chaotic behavior of a damped pendulum driven by a periodic string of pulses is studied by means of Melnikov’s analysis. The reduction of homoclinic chaos, in the asymptotic case of infinite period driving, is explained in terms of geometrical resonance.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
