Abstract

Small periodic perturbations of the oscillator \(\ddot x + {x^{2n}}\) sgn x = Y(t, x, \(\dot x\)) are considered, where n < 1 is a positive integer and the right-hand side is a small perturbation periodic in t, which is an analytic function in \(\dot x\) and x in a neighborhood of the origin. New Lyapunov-type periodic functions are introduced and used to investigate the stability of the equilibrium position of the given equation. Sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability and instability are given.
