higher-derivative harmonic oscillator
C42303
concept
A higher-derivative harmonic oscillator is a dynamical system whose Lagrangian or equations of motion include time derivatives of the coordinate beyond second order, leading to modified oscillatory behavior and often richer stability and spectral properties than the standard harmonic oscillator.
