Haar Wavelet Solutions of Nonlinear Oscillator Equations

In this paper, we present a numerical scheme using uniform Haar wavelet approximation and quasilinearization process for solving some nonlinear oscillator equations. In our proposed work, quasilinearization technique is first applied through Haar wavelets to convert a nonlinear differential equation into a set of linear algebraic equations. Finally, to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, it has been applied on three type of nonlinear oscillators namely Duffing, Van der Pol and Duffing-van der Pol. The obtained responses are presented graphically and compared with available numerical and analytical solutions found in the literature. The main advantage of uniform Haar wavelet series with quasilinearization process is that it captures the behavior of the nonlinear oscillators without any iteration. The numerical problems are considered with force and without force to check the efficiency and simple applicability of method on nonlinear oscillator problems.
