Van der Pol and his colleague, van der Mark, reported in the September 1927 issue of Nature that at certain drive frequencies an irregular noise was heard, [5] which was later found to be the result of deterministic chaos. [6] The Van der Pol equation has a long history of being used in both the physical and biological sciences.
We solve the van der Pol oscillator only up to order 2. This method can be continued indefinitely in the same way, where the order-n term ϵ n x n {\displaystyle \epsilon ^{n}x_{n}} consists of a harmonic term a n cos ( t ) + b n cos ( t ) {\displaystyle a_{n}\cos(t)+b_{n}\cos(t)} , plus some super-harmonic terms a n , 2 cos ( 2 t ...
It was named after Richard FitzHugh (1922–2007) [2] who suggested the system in 1961 [3] and Jinichi Nagumo et al. who created the equivalent circuit the following year. [4]In the original papers of FitzHugh, this model was called Bonhoeffer–Van der Pol oscillator (named after Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer and Balthasar van der Pol) because it contains the Van der Pol oscillator as a special ...
Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) and two other trajectories spiraling into it Stable limit cycle (shown in bold) for the Van der Pol oscillator. In mathematics, in the study of dynamical systems with two-dimensional phase space, a limit cycle is a closed trajectory in phase space having the property that at least one other trajectory spirals into it either as time approaches infinity or as ...
Van der Pol was concerned with obtaining approximate solutions for equations of the type ¨ + ˙ + =, where (, ˙,) = ˙ following the previous notation. This system is often called the Van der Pol oscillator. Applying periodic averaging to this nonlinear oscillator provides qualitative knowledge of the phase space without solving the system ...
This van der Pol equation has stimulated much research in the mathematics of nonlinear dynamical systems. Op-amp circuits that realize the FHN and van der Pol models of the action potential have been developed by Keener. [18]
Phase portrait of van der Pol's equation, + + =. Simple pendulum, see picture (right). Simple harmonic oscillator where the phase portrait is made up of ellipses centred at the origin, which is a fixed point. Damped harmonic motion, see animation (right).
In this case, a sketch of the phase portrait may give qualitative information about the dynamics of the system, such as the limit cycle of the Van der Pol oscillator shown in the diagram. Here the horizontal axis gives the position, and vertical axis the velocity.
