We study a system of two first-order differential equations arising in averaging nonlinear systems over fast single-frequency oscillations. We consider the situation where the original system contains weak dissipative terms. We construct the asymptotic form of a two-parameter solution with an unbounded increasing amplitude. This result gives a key for understanding autoresonance in weak dissipative systems as a phenomenon of significant increase in the forced nonlinear oscillation initiated by a small external pumping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
