Description/Abstract

We use Melnikov function techniques together with geometric methods of bifurcation theory to study the interactions of forcing, damping and detuning on resonant periodic orbits for single and coupled forced Van Der Pol oscillators. For a coupled pair the local bifurcation geometry relates to singularities in line congruences.
