Dynamics of oscillators in resonance

In applications coupled oscillators are only to first order harmonic, and the aim is to understand what happens under perturbation by the nonlinear (higher order) terms. The same reason that makes the unperturbed motion particularly easy renders the perturbation analysis much more complicated when there are resonances among the (unperturbed) frequencies.
