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. We are far more resilient and more rounded than that. I will go on showing there’s more to us than our being victimized. Victims are dead.”

“This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory.

—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
