Algorithms for Arnol'd Tongues and Quasiperiodic Tori
This paper presents algorithms for the computation of Arnol'd
tongues and quasi-periodic tori in a two-parameter plane and demonstrates
their performance with an example from nonlinear electrical engineering.
Both methods are complementary and, together, allow the computation of the
two-parameter bifurcation diagram near a one-parameter family of tori with
parallel flow. The algorithms are simple to implement and compute Arnol'd
tongues or quasi-periodic tori for user-defined rotation numbers. Since
Arnol'd tongues are approximated by solutions of two-point boundary value
problems, their computation becomes immediately accessible to a user of
standard continuation software like, for example, AUTO.}
