Toda Oscillator - Period of Pulsation

Period of Pulsation

The period of pulsation is increasing function of the amplitude .

At, the period ~T(\gamma)=2\pi \left( 1 + \frac{\gamma^2} {24} + O(\gamma^4) \right) ~

At, the period ~T(\gamma)= 4\gamma^{1/2} \left(1+O(1/\gamma)\right) ~

In the whole range, the period and the frequency can be approximated with

k_\text{fit}(\gamma)= \frac{2\pi} {T_\text{fit}(\gamma)}=
\left( \frac { 10630 + 674\gamma + 695.2419\gamma^2 + 191.4489\gamma^3 + 16.86221\gamma^4 + 4.082607\gamma^5 + \gamma^6 } {10630 + 674\gamma + 2467\gamma^2 + 303.2428 \gamma^3+164.6842\gamma^4 + 36.6434\gamma^5 + 3.9596\gamma^6 + 0.8983\gamma^7 +\frac{16}{\pi^4} \gamma^8} \right)^{1/4}

with at least 8 significant figures. The relative error of this approximation does not exceed .

Famous quotes containing the words period of, period and/or pulsation:

    “It is as if, to every period of history, there corresponded a privileged age and a particular division of human life: “youth” is the privileged age of the seventeenth century, childhood of the nineteenth, adolescence of the twentieth.”
    —Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    “Finally she grew quiet, and after that, coherent thought. With this, stalked through her a cold, bloody rage. Hours of this, a period of introspection, a space of retrospection, then a mixture of both. Out of this an awful calm.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “We are independent of the change we detect. The longer the lever, the less perceptible its motion. It is the slowest pulsation which is the most vital. The hero then will know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely; we shall sooner overtake the dawn by remaining here than by hurrying over the hills of the west.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
