Two Dimensional Form
Liénard's Theorem can be used to prove that the system has a limit cycle. Applying the Liénard transformation, where the dot indicates the time derivative, the Van der Pol oscillator can be written in its two dimensional form:
Another commonly used form based on the transformation is leading to

Famous quotes containing the words dimensional and/or form:
“I don’t see black people as victims even though we are exploited. Victims are flat, one- dimensional characters, someone rolled over by a steamroller so you have a cardboard person.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
