A Numerical Approach to Nonlinear Pendulums

In this paper we investigate the behavior of a peculiar driven pendulum and indicate the reciprocal evolution of the angular coordinates and the related dynamical implications of corresponding motions. The important notion of phase trajectories will be deployed in our approach, showing the peculiar behavior of the pendulum. All these tests are depicted in several diagrams, in order to comparing the results for a variety of initial conditions.
