Abstract

A known one-dimensional, undamped, anharmonic oscillator whose restoring force is an odd polynomial function of displacement, is solved exactly via the Gauss and Appell hypergeometric functions, revealing a new fully integrable nonlinear system. The closed form relationship linking the period T to the initial motion amplitude a can then play as a benchmark to all the approximate values of literature.
