Conservative nonlinear oscillators in Abel's mechanical problemKeywords: nonlinear oscillators, analytical mechanics, abel's mechanical problem. Abstract: we study a family of conservative, truly nonlinear, oscillators, arising from particular solutions of abel's mechanical problem. an exact period-to-amplitude relation is produced for each instance. the lagrangian and hamiltonian formulations of such systems are discussed, along with their relations with the harmonic oscillator.
