PII.S0161171202006014 BREAKINGTHESYMMETRYOFACIRCULARSYSTEM OFCOUPLEDHARMONICOSCILLATORS J.N.BOYD, R.G.HUDEPOHL, andP.N.RAYCHOWDHURY Received 23October 2000 First we compute the natural frequencies of vibration of four identical particles cou- pled by ideal, massless harmonic springs. The four particles are constrained to move on a ?xed circle. The initial computations are simpli?ed by a transformation to sym- metry coordinates. Then the symmetry of the vibrating system is broken by changing the mass of a single particle by a very small amount. We observe the e?ect of apply- ing the symmetry transformation tothe now slightly nonsymmetric system. We compute the new frequencies and compare them with the frequencies of the original symmet- ric system of oscillators. Results of similar calculations for 2, 3, 5, and 6 particles are given. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi?cation: 20C35. 1. Introduction.
