Abstract
We consider a high-Q Duffing oscillator in a weakly nonlinear regime with the driving frequency sigma varying in time between sigmai and sigmaf at a characteristic rate r. We found that the frequency sweep can cause controlled transitions between two stable states of the system. Moreover, these transitions are accomplished via a transient that lingers for a long time around the third, unstable fixed point of saddle type. We propose a simple explanation for this phenomenon, and find the transient lifetime to scale as −(ln|r−rc|)/lambdar, where rc is the critical rate necessary to induce a transition and lambdar is the repulsive eigenvalue of the saddle. Experimental implications are mentioned.
