Square-Wave Model for a Pendulum with Oscillating Suspension
Yorke, Ellen D.
American Journal of Physics, 46, 3, 285-8, Mar 78
Demonstrates that if a sinusoidal oscillation of the point of support of a pendulum is approximated by a square wave, a matrix method may be used to discuss parametric resonance and the stability of the inverted pendulum. (Author/SL)
