The sinusoid and the phasor
Abstract
Mathieu equation is widely used to study several natural phenomenon. In this paper, we show that replacing the sinusoid in the Mathieu equation with a phasor can lead to solutions that behave in a totally different way. Solutions of Mathieu equation are either bounded or grow unboundedly at an exponential rate. Solutions of this new equation are always unbounded and grow linearly with time.
