Van Der Pol Oscillator - Two Dimensional Form

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:

    William Booth (1829–1912)
