Bartuccelli, M. V.; Gentile, G.; Georgiou, K. V. On the dynamics of a vertically driven damped planar pendulum. (English) Zbl 1001.70023 Proc. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A, Math. Phys. Eng. Sci. 457, No. 2016, 3007-3022 (2001). The authors employ numerical techniques to make detailed studies of the driven pendulum in the presence of friction. They investigate the stability of both fixed points and study their basins of attraction when they are (asymptotically) stable. Morover, they investigate the existence of other attractors, and determine the corresponding basins of attraction. Computing the Lyapunov exponents they show that the system under consideration possesses chaotic dynamics.
