This damped harmonic oscillator receives a constant force only while moving toward increasing . For , a positive maximum evolves without forcing to a minimum , then with forcing to the next maximum , where . Its unique periodic maximum is and its period is . Position and velocity are continuous at switches, but acceleration has jumps. The slope of this turning-point return map shows attraction of nearby turning-point amplitudes.
