Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to find an exact analytical expression for the periodic solutions of the double-hump Duffing equation and an expression for the period of these solutions.
Design/methodology/approach
The double-hump Duffing equation is presented as a Hamiltonian system and a phase portrait of this system has been found. On the ground of analytical calculations performed using Hamiltonian-based technique, the periodic solutions of this system are represented by Jacobi elliptic functions sn, cn and dn.
Findings
Expressions for the periodic solutions and their periods of the double-hump Duffing equation have been found. An expression for the solution, in the time domain, corresponding to the heteroclinic trajectory has also been found. An important element in various applications is the relationship obtained between constant Hamiltonian levels and the elliptic modulus of the elliptic functions.
Originality/value
The results obtained in this paper represent a generalization and improvement of the existing ones. They can find various applications, such as analysis of limit cycles in perturbed Duffing equation, analysis of damped and forced Duffing equation, analysis of nonlinear resonance and analysis of coupled Duffing equations.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to analyze transient and steady state processes in series resistive capacitive-circuits when the supplied voltage is a sequence of periodic rectangular pulses. The purpose is to obtain an analytical formula for the capacitor voltage at any instant of time, both for the transient and the steady-state processes.
Design/methodology/approach
The main approach is to use a combination of differential and recurrence equations.
Findings
An analytical expression (formula) for obtaining the capacitor voltage at any instant of time has been found.
Originality/value
The results obtained are new. They are much more convenient to use than the results obtained by the Fourier series. The exposed approach can also be used in other circuits and other forms of the supplied voltage.
