which is a second-order [[ordinary differential equation]] describing a [[nonlinear system|nonlinear]] [[oscillator]]. A solution ''y''(''t'') is sought for small values of the (positive) nonlinearity parameter 0&nbsp;<&nbsp;''ε''&nbsp;≪&nbsp;1. The undamped Duffing equation is known to be a [[Hamiltonian system]]:

<math display="block">\frac{dp}{dt}=-\frac{\partial H}{\partial q}, \qquad \frac{dq}{dt}=+\frac{\partial H}{\partial p}, \quad \text{ with } \quad H = \tfrac12 p^2 + \tfrac12 q^2 + \tfrac14 \varepsilon q^4,</math>

with ''q''&nbsp;=&nbsp;''y''(''t'') and ''p''&nbsp;=&nbsp;''dy''/''dt''. Consequently, the Hamiltonian ''H''(''p'',&nbsp;''q'') is a conserved quantity, a constant, equal to ''H₀''&nbsp;=&nbsp;{{sfrac|1|2}}&nbsp;+&nbsp;{{sfrac|1|4}}&nbsp;''ε'' for the given [[initial conditions]]. This implies that both ''yq'' and ''dy''/''dtp'' have to be bounded:

<math display="block">\left| y(t)q \right| \le \sqrt{1 + \tfrac12 \varepsilon} \quad \text{ and } \quad \left| \frac{dy}{dt}p \right| \le \sqrt{1 + \tfrac12 \varepsilon} \qquad \text{ for all } t.</math>The bound on <math>y</math>q wasis found by droppingequating theH with p = 0 to H₀: <math>\tfrac12 q^2 + \tfrac14 \varepsilon q^4 = \tfrac12 + \tfrac14 \varepsilon</math>, termand fromthen dropping the q<mathsup>H4</mathsup> term. IncludingThis itis indeed an upper bound on |q|, though keeping the q⁴ term gives a lowersmaller butbound with a more complicated boundformula.
