# amplitude-phase modulation equations solution

I am trying to solve the following equation

σ = 0.05;
f = 0.5;
μ = 0.1;
a[0] == 1
γ[0] == 0

γ'[t] == σ - 3/8 a[t]^2 + f/(2 a[t]) Cos[γ[t]]

a'[t] == -μ a[t] + f/2  Sin[γ[t]]


Unfortunately Mathematica is unable to do so. Is there a way to obtain the much needed solution ?

• Does this give something close to what you need: funcs = NDSolveValue[{\[Gamma]'[t] == \[Sigma] - 3/8 a[t]^2 + f/(2 a[t]) Cos[\[Gamma][t]], a'[t] == -\[Mu] a[t] + f/2 Sin[\[Gamma][t]], a[0] == 1, \[Gamma][0] == 0}, {\[Gamma], a}, {t, 0, 30}]; Plot[Evaluate@Through@funcs@t, {t, 0, 30}]? – kglr Mar 1 '15 at 16:34

funcs = NDSolveValue[{γ'[t] == σ - 3/8 a[t]^2 + f/(2 a[t]) Cos[γ[t]],

DSolve[Derivative[1][a][t] == -0.1 a[t] + 0.25 Sin[γ[t]], {a[t]}, {t}]
