Synopsis

In the standard treatment of the harmonic solutions of Duffing's equation with small non-linearities and small forcing, all small parameters are assumed to be common multiples of some small parameter. As a consequence, the parameters do not vary in a full neighbourhood of zero and the bifurcation surfaces are not obtained. It is the purpose of this paper to give a complete description of the number of harmonic solutions for the parameters varying in a full neighbourhood of the origin in the parameter space.
