Abstract

First, the properties of solutions of a typical second-order pendulum-like system with a specified nonlinear function were discussed. Then the case with a general form of nonlinearity is considered and its global properties were studied by using the qualitative theory of differential equations. As a result, sufficient conditions for estimating the critical damp are established, which improves the work by Leonov et al.
