UsingKapitzamethod of averaging for arbitrary periodic forces, the pendulumdriven by different forms of periodic piecewise linearforces is stabilized. These periodic piecewise linear forces are selected in the range [−1, 1] to establish an exact comparison withharmonic forces. In this contest, the rectangular force was found to be the best, but this force is more effective when it has a time-dependent structure. This time-dependent structure is found by defining a parametric control on some other periodic piecewiselinear forces.
1. Introduction
A pendulum with fixed suspension has only one stable point,while a pendulum whose suspension has fast oscillation canhavemore stable points (can oscillate). Such phenomenawerefirst studied by Stephenson in 1908 [1–3]. In 1951, Kapitzapresented this problem in a different way [4], so-calledKapitza pendulum. In 1960, Landau et al. studied the stabilityof such a system driven by harmonic force [5].Then, its rapidgrowing applications started such as trapping of particles bylaser [6–8], control of robotic devices [9, 10], effect on priceequilibrium [11], and control by lasers in cybernetics [12].Next in place of harmonic forceAhmad andBorisenok (2009)used periodic kicking forces, modifying Kapitza method forarbitrary periodic forces [13]. Also, Ahmad used symmetricforces and stabilized the system with comparatively lowfrequency of fast oscillation [14].
2. Kapitza Method for ArbitraryPeriodic Forces
A classical particle of mass 𝑚 is moving in time-independentpotential field 𝑈 and a fast oscillating control field. Forsimplicity, consider one-dimensional motion.Then, the forcedue to time-independent potential 𝑈(𝑥) is
𝑓1
(𝑥) = −𝑑𝑈

and a periodic fast oscillating force with zeromean in Fourierseries is
𝑓2
(𝑥, 𝑡) =

∑𝑘=1

(𝑥) cos (𝑘𝜔𝑡) + 𝑏𝑘
(𝑥) sin (𝑘𝜔𝑡)] . (2)
This fast oscillation has frequency 𝜔 ≡ 2𝜋/𝑇 ≫ 2𝜋/𝑇𝑈
≡ 𝜔0.
Here,𝜔0is the frequency ofmotion due to𝑓

Due to (1) and (2), the equation of motion is

(𝑥, 𝑡) . (7)
Here at a time twomotions are observed: one along a smoothpath due to 𝑓
1and the other small oscillations due to 𝑓
2. So
the path can be written as 𝑥(𝑡) = 𝑋(𝑡) + 𝜉(𝑡) (see Figure 1).Here, 𝜉(𝑡) represents small oscillations.By averaging procedure, the effective potential energy func-tion is [13]

The pendulum driven by a periodic force is stabilized byminimizing (8). These forces are chosen in the range [−1, 1]
to establish an exact comparison with harmonic forces. Next,an 𝜖-parametric control is developed with one of the drivingforces and has better results.
3. The Pendulum Driven by Harmonic Force
Consider a pendulum whose point of support oscillates hori-zontally (see Figure 3), under the influence of harmonic force(Kapitza pendulum). The harmonic force is (see Figure 2)
𝑓 (𝑡) = sin𝜔𝑡 if 0 ≤ 𝑡 < 𝑇, (9)
and the fast oscillating force is
𝑓2
(𝜙, 𝑡) = 𝑚𝜔2 cos𝜙𝑓 (𝑡) (10)
with the meaning 𝑓2
= 0, which follows from the Fouriercoefficient 𝑎
0= 0, for (9). The other Fourier coefficients are
given by using (6):
𝑎𝑘
= 0,
𝑏𝑘
= 𝑚𝜔2 cos𝜙.
(11)
Then, the forces acting on the particle are
𝑓1
= −𝑑 (−𝑚𝑔𝑙 cos𝜙)
𝑑𝜙,
𝑓2
= 𝑚𝜔2 cos𝜙 sin (𝜔𝑡) ,
(12)
and the effective potential energy is obtained by using (8):
𝑈𝑒ff = 𝑚𝑔𝑙 (− cos𝜙 +
𝜔2
4𝑔𝑙cos2𝜙) . (13)
The stable equilibrium is found by minimizing (13). 𝑈eff hasthe extrema at 𝜙 = 0, 𝜋, ±arccos 2𝑔𝑙/𝜔

[5].
These stable points are illustrated in Figure 4.

the range of harmonic force. These periodic piecewise linearforces are 𝑇-periodical: 𝑅(𝑡 + 𝑇, 𝑛) ≡ 𝑅(𝑡, 𝑛). For horizontalmodulation, the force acting on the particle is
𝑓2
(𝜙, 𝑡) = 𝑚𝜔2 cos𝜙 ⋅ 𝑅 (𝑡, 𝑛) . (14)
4.1. Triangular Type Force. First of all introduce the triangulartype force (see Figure 5) given by

Hence, this force is less effective than sin- or cos-typeforce. So, this force is replaced by some other periodicpiecewise linear forces.
4.2. Hat Type Force. Now if sine function is traced by linearpulses (see Figure 6), defined by (19)

Next if the sine force is traced by a linear force forming a hat(see Figure 6), defined by (19). For horizontalmodulation, theoscillating force is
𝑓2
(𝜙, 𝑡) = 𝑚𝜔2 cos𝜙 ⋅ 𝐿
𝑐(𝑡) . (20)

which has extrema at 𝜙 = 0, 𝜋, ±arccos 2.172𝑔𝑙/𝜔2. Here,
(i) the position 𝜙 = 0 is stable if 𝜔2

Again a less effective result is obtained. So this periodicpiecewise linear force is replaced by another one.

which has extrema at 𝜙 = 0, 𝜋, ±arccos 1.4736𝑔𝑙/𝜔2. Here,
(i) the point 𝜙 = 0 is stable if 𝜔2
< 1.4736𝑔𝑙,
(ii) the point 𝜙 = 𝜋 is not stable,
(iii) the point given by cos𝜙 = 1.4736𝑔𝑙/𝜔2 is stable if
𝜔2
> 1.4736𝑔𝑙.
From (iii), it is observed that, at nontrivial position, theoscillator is stabilized with lower frequency as compared toharmonic force. So this type of force is much effective thansin- or cos-type force. Next, modify this trapezium shapeforce to have a better result.

(iii) the position 𝜙 = arccos 1.2967𝑔𝑙/𝜔2 is stable if 𝜔

Again the frequency of oscillation is lower at nontrivialposition.
4.5. Rectangular Type Force. Now if we introduce rectangulartype force: 𝑅

(i) the point 𝜙 = 0 is stable if 𝜔2

(ii) the point 𝜙 = 𝜋 is not stable,
(iii) the point 𝜙 = arccos 1.2159𝑔𝑙/𝜔2 is stable if 𝜔
2>

From (iii), it is observed that, at nontrivial position with thehelp of this type of external force, the frequency of oscillationhas become much lower. At nontrivial position, the aboveresults are summarized in Table 1. From these results, it isalso observed that, as the area under the curve increases, thefrequency of oscillation decreases, at nontrivial position.Thetriangular type force hasminimumarea and so hasmaximumfrequency, while rectangular type force has maximum areaand has minimum frequency.
5. Vertical Modulation
For vertical modulation with harmonic force (see Figure 10),the fast oscillating force is
𝑓2
= 𝑚𝜔2 sin𝜙 ⋅ sin𝜔𝑡. (37)
Here, the position 𝜙 = 0 is always stable, and the inversepoint 𝜙 = 𝜋 is stable if 𝜔
2> 2𝑔𝑙 (see Figure 11) [5].

All the above results can be considered as nonparametriccontrol. Next, an 𝜖-parametric control is defined for one ofthe periodic piecewise linear forces. At nontrivial position,the frequency of oscillation is calculated. This 𝜖-parametricforce with 0 < 𝜖 < 1 is given by (similar to external force(29))

which has extremum at 𝜙 = 0, 𝜋, ±arccos 0.5𝑔𝑙/𝜔2𝑏.
The stability of the system is discussed under the forcewith different values of 𝜖. See Figure 13. First of all consider𝜖 = 0.9; the infinite sum is
𝑏 = 0.1320, (45)
and the effective potential energy is
𝑈eff = −𝑚𝑔𝑙 cos𝜙 + 0.132𝑚𝜔2cos2𝜙⋅ (46)
The nontrivial position ±arccos (3.7879𝑔𝑙/𝜔2) is stable under
the condition 𝜔2
> 3.7879𝑔𝑙. This value is larger thanthe above considered examples, such a poor result. Nextfor 𝜖 = 0.8, the infinite sum is 0.1607, and the nontrivialposition ±arccos (3.1114𝑔𝑙/𝜔
2) is stable if 𝜔
2> 3.1114𝑔𝑙,
such a better result. Also, it is found that, as 𝜖 decreases, theinfinite sum 𝑏 increases and the system is stabilized with arelatively low frequency. For different values of 𝜖, the results ofinfinite sum 𝑏 and the nontrivial position ±arccos 0.5𝑔𝑙/𝜔

with stable condition are given in Table 3.Also as 𝜖 → 0, the term 𝑏 ≅ 0.4386, and the position
±arccos (1.14𝑔𝑙/𝜔2) is stable under the condition𝜔
2> 1.14𝑔𝑙
which is lower than with rectangular type force. Hence, withparametric control, the rectangular type force is approached,and the system is stabilized with a relatively low frequency.

Theminimization of dimensionless effective potential energyfunction with horizontal modulation is shown in Figure 14and with vertical modulation is shown in Figure 15.Here, the same effect is also observed; as 𝜖 decreases, thearea under the curve increases, and the value of 𝑏 increases;consequently, the frequency of oscillation becomes low atnontrivial position. In this connection, an interesting result isobtained; when 𝜖 → 0, the quadratic type force approachesthe rectangular type force, so at nontrivial position thefrequency of oscillation should be almost the same, but, withparametric force, the frequency of oscillation is low. Observefrom Table 3, the rectangular force fall between 𝜖 = 0.2
and 𝜖 = 0.1, more clearly, the parametric force with 𝜖 =
0.17 . . ., gives the frequency of oscillation almost equals withrectangular type force, hence comparatively less area showslow frequency at non-trivial position.
7. Conclusions
Using Kapitza method of averaging for an arbitrary periodicforce, the modulated pendulum with periodic piecewiselinear force is stabilized with frequency 𝜔 that is sufficientlylesser than that in the case of harmonic modulation. Inthis contest, rectangular force was found to be the best. Butthis force is more effective when it has a time-dependent

structure.This time-dependent structure is found by defininga parametric control on some other periodic piecewise linearforces. Hence, a more suitable form of rectangular force isfound.
The parametric control can be applied to control the non-trivial stable position, for horizontally or verticallymodulatedpendulum.
