When seeking a solution in series form, the number of terms needed to satisfy some preset requirements is unknown in the beginning. An iterative formulation is proposed so that when an approximation is available, the number of effective terms can be doubled in one iteration by solving a set of linear equations. This is a new extension of the Newton iteration in solving nonlinear algebraic equations to solving nonlinear differential equations by series. When Fourier series is employed, the method is called the residue harmonic balance. In this paper, the fractional order van der Pol oscillator with fractional restoring and damping forces is considered. The residue harmonic balance method is used for generating the higher-order approximations to the angular frequency and the period solutions of above mentioned fractional oscillator. The highly accurate solutions to angular frequency and limit cycle of the fractional order van der Pol equations are obtained analytically. The results that are obtained reveal that the proposed method is very effective for obtaining asymptotic solutions of autonomous nonlinear oscillation systems containing fractional derivatives. The influence of the fractional order on the geometry of the limit cycle is investigated for the first time. & 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Since the original work of Balthazar van der Pol [1], the van der Pol equation has always been a prototype for systems with self-excited, limited cyclic oscillations. Nowadays, the Van der Pol oscillator as well as its modified versions is still widely studied in various scientific fields, ranging from biology, chemistry and physics to engineering [2–10]. It is given by the following second-order differential equation: € _ þ uðtÞ ¼ 0, uðtÞ eð1u2 ðtÞÞuðtÞ

for which the elastic restoring force is a linear function of the dependence variable. Here the over-dot denotes differentiation with respect to time variable t, e is a control parameter that reflects the degree of nonlinearity of the system. For e ¼ 0 this is just a simple linear oscillator. For large values of e, which is for e b1, the system exhibits a relaxation oscillation [2]. The generalized van der Pol oscillators, in which the fractional power of dependent variable u or its derivative occurs, have been of great interest for many years [6,7,11–14]. In [10], with the help of the general harmonic balance method,

Mickens derived the expression for the limit cycle of following van der Pol type oscillator: € _ þ u1=3 ðtÞ ¼ 0: uðtÞ eð1u2 ðtÞÞuðtÞ

Mickens [11] also proposed an iteration technique to the oscillator (2) and obtained the same result, but the frequency decreased for about 15% with respect to the classical van der Pol oscillator. To avoid tedious computations in dealing with nonlinear algebras involving in harmonic balance equations for higher-order approximations, Lim and Lai [7] introduced a linearization technique prior to proceeding with harmonic balance procedure and studied (2) under the assumption that 0 r e 5 1. The transient solutions for the first-, second- and third-order approximations are given with the help of averaging method [13] upon taking into account the weak damping effect for (2). Recently, the applications of fractional calculus [15,16] have grown rapidly, which has attracted fairly broad research activity, including the viscoelasticity [17,18], chaotic dynamics [19,20], mechanics of non-Hamiltonian systems [21,22], quantum mechanics [23], physical kinetics [24] and so on [25]. Due to the occurrence of fractional oscillators in dynamical applications, various kinds of van der Pol equations containing fractional derivatives have attracted more and more attention, see for instance [19,20,26–37] and references therein. Two important physical parameters, i.e., the angular frequency and the amplitude of oscillation are involved in the investigations of nonlinear oscillators. Many valuable contributions were made to calculate these two physical parameters. However, the solution of the differential equation containing a fractional derivative is very involved. An effective and easyto-use method for solving such equations is needed. Combining the harmonic balance method with parameter expansion technique, an analytical technique, named residue harmonic balance method, is recently constructed [34–36]. The primary idea of this method is that a bookkeeping parameter p is introduced into the residue of the Fourier truncation series in harmonic equations. The unbalanced residues due to Fourier truncation are considered iteratively by solving linear algebraic equations to improve the accuracy of the solutions successively. Using of residue harmonic balance method, this paper is devoted to investigating the approximations of the fractional van der Pol oscillator with fractional restoring and damping forces. The highly accurate solutions to the angular frequency and limit cycle are obtained. It is shown that the proposed technique is very effective for obtaining asymptotic solutions for nonlinear fractional order systems. 2. Fractional van der Pol oscillator Recently, study on dynamical behaviors of the fractional order systems has attracted increasing attention. In these studies, it has been found that the fractional order systems like integer order systems can generate oscillations. Pereira et al. considered a fractional version of the van der Pol equation given by _ þ uðtÞ ¼ 0, Dlt uðtÞ þ e½uðtÞ2 1uðtÞ

which is obtained by substituting the capacitance by a fractance in the nonlinear RLC circuit model [19,37]. Xie and Lin [28] introduced the following Van der Pol oscillator with a small fractional damping term and studied the asymptotic solution of Cauchy problem: € uðtÞ e½1uðtÞ2 Dlt uðtÞ þ uðtÞ ¼ 0, _ where uð0Þ ¼ a, uð0Þ ¼ b,0 o l o1. Barbosa et al. [26] also suggested the introduction of a fractional order time derivative for Eq. (1) of the standard van der Pol oscillator in the form: D1t þ l uðtÞe½1uðtÞ2 Dlt uðtÞ þ uðtÞ ¼ 0,

In [35], the oscillatory region and asymptotic solutions of Eq. (3) are discussed by the residue harmonic balance method. In this study, motivated by Mickens [6], a modified version of fractional van der Pol oscillator is considered: € uðtÞ e½1uðtÞ2 Dlt uðtÞ þuðtÞ1=3 ¼ 0,

where u is a displacement, e is a control parameter that reflects the degree of nonlinearity of the system and e 40, 0 o l o1 is the order of the fractional derivative in the Caputo sense defined by Z t m 1 d Dat uðtÞ ¼ ðttÞma1 m uðtÞdt, (5) GðmaÞ 0 dt for m1 o a rm, m 2 N, t 40, u 2 C m 1 : When l ¼1, Eq. (4) is reduced to the modified van der Pol oscillator (2) with fractional restoring force [6,7]. 3. Residue harmonic balance method The principle of the residue harmonic balance method to differential equations analogous to the Newton iteration for nonlinear algebraic equations is illustrated in Appendix A using power series. To solve Eq. (4) using the residue harmonic

balance method, we introduce a new time scale t ¼ ot, then (4) reads

o2 u00 ðtÞeol ð1u2 ðtÞÞDlt uðtÞ þu1=3 ðtÞ ¼ 0,

(6)

where the prime denotes differentiation of u with respect to t, and o is an unknown parameter to be determined. Due to the symmetric characteristic of Eq. (6), u(t) can be expressed by uðtÞ ¼ a0 cosðtÞ þ

Therefore, instead of the function u(t), the coefficients a0 ,a2k þ 1 , b2k þ 1 ðk ¼ 0,1,2,. . .Þ become the main unknowns to be determined. Definition (5) of the fractional derivatives allows us to obtain the expression of Dbt uðtÞ, ð0 o b o1Þ, where Z t    1 d a cosðksÞ þbk sinðksÞ ds ðtsÞb Dbt ak cosðktÞ þbk sinðktÞ ¼ ds k Gð1bÞ 0 Z t   k t b bk cosðktktÞak sinðktktÞ dt, (8) ¼ Gð1bÞ 0 According to the trigonometric identities cosðktktÞ ¼ cos kt cos kt þsin kt sin kt, sinðktktÞ ¼ sin kt cos ktcos kt sin kt, Eq.

Although these integrals cannot be evaluated in closed form for general interval, we are able to evaluate them using the contour integration, when steady-state response is of interest, where pffiffiffiffi pG½ð1bÞ=2 bp I1 ¼ sin , I1 ¼ b 1 ¼ tlim -1 2 2 Gðb=2ÞGð1bÞ pffiffiffiffi pGð1ðb=2ÞÞ bp I1 ¼ cos : I2 ¼ b 2 ¼ tlim -1 2 2 G½ð1 þ bÞ=2Gð1bÞ 1 In the following calculation, we substitute I1 and I2 in Eq.

Just for the convenience of discussion below, we introduce a function F that represents the governing equation of fractional van der Pol oscillator:

Fðuðt,pÞ, oðpÞÞ ¼ : o2 ðpÞu00 ðt,pÞeol ðpÞð1u2 ðt,pÞÞDlt uðt,pÞ þ u1=3 ðt,pÞ,

where using the Taylor series, we have

(16)

Substituting Eqs. (8), (12) and (13) into Eq. (15) and equating the coefficients of p0 lead to

The residue in Eq. (17) is separated into two parts: the first part conforms with the initial approximation in Eq. (11), the second part in the summation sign for the determination of the next higher approximations, the number of terms of which will depend on the nature of nonlinearity of u. Based on the harmonic balance, the right hand side of Eq. (17) should not contain the secure terms cosðtÞ and sinðtÞ. Letting their coefficients be zero, we have Z 2 p G1,0 ðo0 ,a10 Þ ¼ F cosðtÞdt ¼ 0, p 0 0 Z p 2 U1,0 ðo0 ,a10 Þ ¼ F0 sinðtÞdt ¼ 0: (18)

Then the unknown coefficients o0, a1,0 for the initial approximation result by simply solving the nonlinear algebraic equation (18), then we have uð0Þ ðtÞ ¼ a1,0 cosðtÞ, oð0Þ ¼ o0 :

(19)

However, the second part of residue under the summation sign of Eq. (17) cannot be identically zero and should be considered in the first approximation procedure. We rewrite it as X X i F0 ¼ G3,0 cosð3tÞ þ U3,0 sinð3tÞ þ ½G2i þ 1,0 cosð2i þ 1Þt þ U2i þ 1,0 sinð2i þ 1Þtpi1 ¼ R10 þ R0 pi1 : (20) iZ2

Obviously, u1(t) can be expanded according to Eq. (13): u1 ðtÞ ¼ a1,1 cosðtÞ þ a3,1 cosð3tÞ þ b3,1 sinð3tÞ:

(22)

Based on the harmonic balance, the right hand side of Eq. (21) has no secure terms cosðtÞ, sinðtÞ, cosð3tÞ and sinð3tÞ: That is Z 2 p G2i þ 1,1 ðo1 ,a1,1 ,a3,1 ,b3,1 Þ ¼ F cosð2i þ 1Þt dt ¼ 0, i ¼ 0,1, p 0 1 Z p 2 U2i þ 1,1 ðo1 ,a1,1 ,a3,1 ,b3,1 Þ ¼ F1 sinð2i þ1Þt dt ¼ 0, i ¼ 0,1: (23)

Then, the four coefficients in (22) are simply given by solving four differential equations defined by (23). The first-order approximation to the angular frequency and limit cycle are therefore determined by uð1Þ ðtÞ ¼ ða1,0 þ a1,1 ÞcosðtÞ þa3,1 cosð3tÞ þb3,1 sinð3tÞ, oð1Þ ¼ o0 þ o1 :

(24)

It is easy to find that the residues in Eq. (21) are separated into two parts again. The second part is generally nonzero when we substitute Eq. (24) into Eq. (21). We denote them as X X i F1 ¼ G5,1 cosð5tÞ þ U5,1 sinð5tÞ þ ½G2i þ 1,0 cosð2i þ1Þt þ U2i þ 1,0 sinð2i þ 1Þtpi2 ¼ R21 þ R1 pi2 : (25) iZ3

(27)

Similarly, no secular terms cosðtÞ, cosð3tÞ, cosð5tÞ, sinðtÞ, sinð3tÞ and sinð5tÞ in Eq. (26) imply that their coefficients are all zeros, that is Z 2 p G2i þ 1,2 ðo2 ,a1,2 ,a3,2 ,b3,2 ,a5,2 ,b5,2 Þ ¼ F cosð2iþ 1Þt dt ¼ 0, i ¼ 0,1,2, p 0 2 Z p 2 U2i þ 1,2 ðo2 ,a1,2 ,a3,2 ,b3,2 ,a5,2 ,b5,2 Þ ¼ F2 sinð2iþ 1Þt dt ¼ 0, i ¼ 0,1,2: (28)

Results and discussion The classical van der Pol damped oscillator with fractional restoring force, governed by the nonlinear second differential Eq.

As is discussed in the third section, the residue for the zeroth-order approximation is separated into two parts. The first part conforms with the initial approximation and the second part comes from the nonlinearity of the function u1/3. In this case, infinite terms should be considered in the each stage of subsequent harmonic balance procedure. It is worthwhile to note that low accuracy of approximation is a direct consequence of discarding the second part. After substituting Eqs. (11) and (35) into Eq. (17), we find that the differential Eq. (18) is defined by



eol0 a10 3 3 lp 1=3 þ wa10 o0 2 a10 ¼ 0, eol0 a10  ¼ 0: (36) eol0 a10 a210 1 cos 4 2 4 The amplitude a10 of the zeroth-order approximation (19) is determined by the second equation in (36), which gives að0Þ ¼ a10 ¼ 2 while o0 depends on the solution of the first nonlinear equation in (36). Since higher-order approximations of the residue harmonic balance method are governed by linear equations only, solutions can easily be obtained to any desired accuracy. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method for fractional van der Pol oscillator (4), the frequency–amplitude response under the alternations of fractional order l and control parameter e will be illustratively validated by some figures, wherein the obtained results are compared with the numerical ones.

4.1. Effect of fractional order on the frequency and amplitude of steady-state response The fractional order–frequency and fractional order–amplitude curves of limit cycles for e ¼1 are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. It is easy to find that the angular frequency of limit cycle in steady state increases at first, and then decreases as the fractional order varies in the interval (0,1]. However, the amplitude of limit cycle in steady state decreases at first, and then increases as the fractional order varies in the interval (0,1]. It is also clear that the obtained approximations are highly accurate and in good agreement with the numerically integrated results based on the phase portraits in Fig. 3 when e ¼ 1 for l ¼{0.5,0.8,1}. 4.2. Effect of control parameter on the frequency and amplitude of steady-state response When l ¼0.5, the fractional van der Pol oscillator (4) is reduced to a specific case: 1=3 € e½1uðtÞ2 D0:5 ¼ 0: uðtÞ t uðtÞ þuðtÞ

(37)

For this case, the comparisons between the asymptotic approximations to the angular frequency and amplitude of limit cycle and corresponding numerical results are illustrated by Figs. 4 and 5. Obviously, we can observe that the obtained approximations are highly accurate. Moreover, as the control parameter e varies in the interval (0,2], the angular frequency of the limit cycle are always increasing, while the amplitude decreases throughout the whole region of e.

5. Conclusion The residue harmonic balance method to obtain the accurate approximations to the angular frequency and limit cycles of vibration systems is proposed. The fractional order van der Pol oscillator with fractional restoring force and damping is investigated successfully. It is shown that the approximations of frequencies, amplitudes and period solutions to the numerical ones are in excellent agreement. The effects of fractional order and the control parameter on the steady-state responses of angular frequency and amplitude of oscillator are illustrated by the several figures. It is worthwhile to point out that, for the fractional van der Pol oscillator with fractional restoring force, the residue, produced by the fractional power function, in the zeroth-order harmonic equation is separated into different stages and added to the subsequent harmonic procedures to improve the accuracy of the approximations. Therefore, the presented approach can be easily applied to other nonlinear oscillators with fractional power and derivative nonlinearities. Since the higher-order approximations of residue harmonic balance method are governed by linear equations, solutions can easily be obtained to any desired accuracy.

Appendix A. Newton iteration for differential equations The Newton method has been very successful to solve nonlinear algebraic equations. We extend the method to solve differential equations using the series here. When dealing with algebraic equations, one would expect quadratic convergence, that is, one iteration would double the accuracy of a root. When dealing with differential equations using series to express the solution function, one would expect to double the effective number of terms in the function expression. We shall illustrate the method in solving a simple ordinary differential equation of the form by power series: € u,u,tÞ _ Fðu, ¼ u€ þ u_ þ u2 t ¼ 0:
