Abstract
We study the structural stability of the Helmholtz oscillator under changes of the shape of periodic nonlinear perturbations. In particular, we determine the order-chaos threshold by means of Melnikov's method for the case of periodic perturbations given in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions. Computer simulations confirm our theoretical predictions.
