Abstract
We investigate slow passage through the 2:1 resonance tongue in Mathieu's equation. Using numerical integration, we find that amplification or de-amplification can occur. The amount of amplification (or de-amplification) depends on the speed of travel through the tongue and the initial conditions. We use the method of multiple scales to obtain a slow flow approximation. The Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) method is then applied to the slow equations to obtain an analytic approximation.
