Second harmonic and mean displacement of a weakly cubic oscillator

With
ϑ
=
ω
t
+
δ
,
a
weak cubic potential produces
a
nonzero
mean
position
and
a
second
harmonic
at
first
order. There is no
first
-order
frequency
shift. Higher-order
frequency
changes can accumulate
phase
over sufficiently long
times
, so the
first
-order expression is not
a
uniform all-
time
approximation
.
