Dynamics of oscillators in resonance

The harmonic oscillator is among the first examples in every text book, be it on mechanics or dynamical systems. The superposition of several such oscillators leads to quasi-periodic motions, the frequency vector of which consists of the individual frequencies of the superposed harmonic oscillators. In case the latter are in full resonance (integer multiples of a single `base' frequency) the motion is again periodic.

In applications coupled oscillators are only to first order harmonic, and the aim is to understand what happens under perturbation by the nonlinear (higher order) terms. The same reason that makes the unperturbed motion particularly easy renders the perturbation analysis much more complicated when there are resonances among the (unperturbed) frequencies.
