Van der Pol systems with various restoring elements

Van Dinh Nguyen, Kim Chi Tran

Abstract


Van der Pol oscillators with various linear and cubic restoring elements are examined. The evolution of stationary self-excited oscillations is described and the role of self-excitation as that of restoring elements is shown. Numerical method on computer is used.
