• Finite difference methods
• Stability
• Nonlinear dynamics

In this paper an alternative approach for identification problems is discussed. Unlike existing methods, this new approach combines in a general way finite differences and function approximation and is herein used for the identification of a particular system in structural dynamics, that is the damped Duffing oscillator subject to a swept-sine excitation. The solution obtained by means of the proposed method has been compared with the one obtained by a neural network. The present method gives better results at a low computational cost, with the advantage of solutions in explicit form. Besides, it is possible to prove that the solutions are stable and that from this new approach one can deduce, as a particular case, the approximation previously proposed by other authors.
