Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Numerous applications from electrical engineering and mechanical structures are mathematically modeled using dynamical systems theory. Our paper concerns the behaviors of a 3D dynamic system in terms of damped or periodical oscillations and asymptotic representation, considering the dependence on three physical parameters. This system is explicitly integrated via a smooth-function solution of a third–order nonlinear differential equation, which means that the obtained exact parametric solutions describe a heteroclinical orbit. The modified Optimal Parametric Iteration Method (mOPIM) is used to study the influence of the physical parameters. The advantages of the applied method include the small number of iterations due to due to the appropriate choice of auxiliary convergence control functions. The mOPIM solutions are in good agreement with the corresponding numerical results and this aspect is highlighted qualitatively by figures and quantitatively by tables, respectively, in this work. The accuracy of the obtained solutions is assessed via a comparison with the OPIM method and the iterative solutions using 5–8 iterations, via an iterative method. A qualitative analysis of errors is performed.
