Due to its pure sinusoidal response to a sinusoidal input signal, the amplifier based on the normal form of the Andronov-Hopf bifurcation is a peculiar exception of nonlinear amplifiers. This feature allows an exact mathematical formulation of the input-output characteristic and thus deeper insights of the nonlinear behavior. Aside from the Hopf-type amplifier we investigate an extension of the Hopf system with focus on ambiguities, especially the separation of solution sets, and double hysteresis behavior in the input-output characteristic. Our results are validated by a DSP implementation.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Ambiguities in input-output behavior of driven nonlinear systems close to bifurcation}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/85372/PDF/DOI%2010.1515aee-2016-0025.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aee-2016-0025}, keywords={Andronov-Hopf, bifurcation, nonlinear amplifier, ambiguities}, }
