Abstract/Summary:
The nonlinear Duffing-van der Pol oscillator system is studied by means of the Lie symmetry reduction method and the Preller-Singer method. With the particular case of coefficients, this system has physical relevance as a simple model in certain flow-induced structural vibration problems. Under certain parametric conditions, we are concerned with the first integrals of the Duffing-van der Pol oscillator system. After making a series of variable transformations, we apply the Preller-Singer method and the Lie symmetry reduction method to obtain the first integrals of the simplified equations without complicated calculations.
