Periodic orbits of an impact oscillator

An harmonically excited, undamped linear oscillator with impacts is considered. The structure of the orbit space for single-excitation-cycle, singleimpact periodic orbits is investigated, first for elastic and then for inelastic impacts. It is proved that these orbits form a smooth, connected threed...
