Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the emergence of bursting dynamics with complex waveforms and their relation to periodic behavior in typical Van der pol-Duffing equation with fifth order polynomial stiffness nonlinearity, when the external force changes slowly with the variation of time. We exploit bifurcation characteristics of the fast subsystem using the slowly changing periodic excitation as a bifurcation parameter to show how the bursting oscillations are created in this model. We also identify that some regimes of bursting patterns are related to codimension two bifurcation type over a wide range of parameters. A subsequent two-parameter continuation reveals a transition in the bursting behavior from fold/fold hysteresis cycle to sup-Hopf/sup-Hopf or limit point cycle/sub-Hopf bursting type. Furthermore, the effects of external forcing item on bursting oscillations are investigated. For instance, the time interval between two adjacent spikes of bursting oscillations is dependent on the forcing frequency. Some numerical simulations are included to illustrate the validity of our study.
