Multiple Time Scale Numerical Methods for the Inverted Pendulum Problem

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering ((LNCSE,volume 44))

Summary

In this article, we study a class of numerical ODE schemes that use a time filtering strategy and operate in two time scales. The algorithms follow the framework of the heterogeneous multiscale methods (HMM) [1]. We apply the methods to compute the averaged path of the inverted pendulum under a highly oscillatory vertical forcing on the pivot. The averaged equation for related problems has been studied analytically in [9]. We prove and show numerically that the proposed methods approximate the averaged equation and thus compute the average path of the inverted pendulum.
