Abstract

We present a method for obtaining a closed-form approximation to harmonic periodic solutions of a class of ordinary differential equations containing a bounded, Lipschitzian nonlinearity and a sinusoidal forcing term. Our technique replaces the continuous nonlinearity with a suitable step-function nonlinearity and uses the Phase-Shift-Averaging Method to write the solution of the piecewise-linear problem in closed form.
