Parametric excitation refers to dynamics problems in which the forcing function enters into the governing differential equation as a variable coefficient. Evolutionary dynamics refers to a mathematical model of natural selection (the “replicator” equation) which involves a combination of game theory and differential equations. In this paper we apply perturbation theory to investigate parametric resonance in a replicator equation having periodic coefficients. In particular, we study evolution in the Rock-Paper-Scissors game, which has biological and social applications. Here periodic coefficients could represent seasonal variation. We show that 2:1 subharmonic resonance can destabilize the usual “Rock-Paper-Scissors” equilibrium for parameters located in a resonant tongue in parameter space. However, we also show that the tongue may be absent or very small if the forcing parameters are chosen appropriately.

The equation to be considered is of the typewhere p (x) is continuous for all real values of x, even, and periodic. It is no restriction to suppose that the period is π, and this assumption will be made, so that the equation is virtually Hill's equation.

We compute explicitly the oscillation constant for Euler type half-linear second-order differential equation having multi-different periodic coefficients.
