On resonances under quasi-periodic perturbations of systems with a double limit cycle, close to two-dimensional nonlinear Hamiltonian systems

stem has a double limit cycle. Analysis of the Poincaré–Pontryagin function constructed for the autonomous system makes it possible to establish the presence of such a cycle. When the condition of commensurability of the natural frequency of the corresponding unperturbed Hamiltonian system with the frequencies of the quasi-periodic perturbation is fulfilled, the unperturbed level becomes resonant. Resonant structures essentially depend on whether the selected resonance levels coincide with the levels that generate limit cycles in the autonomous system. An averaged system is obtained that describes the topology of the neighborhoods of resonance levels. Possible phase portraits of the averaged system are established near the bifurcation case, when the resonance level coincides with the level in whose neighborhood the corresponding autonomous system has a double limit cycle. To illustrate the results obtained, the results of a theoretical study and of a numerical calculation are presented for a specific pendulum-type equation under two-frequency quasi-periodic perturbations.
