A numerical investigation of the global stability of ship roll: invariant manifolds, Melnikov's method, and transient basins

<p>A parametrically forced, single-degree-of-freedom equation modelling ship roll is investigated through the numerical study of invariant manifolds, Me1nikov's method, and transient basins. The calculation of the manifolds is facilitated through the development of a sophisticated algorit...
