Title: A novel approach to the van der pol oscillator: Natural frequency and entrainment

Year: 1980-12
Contents: The physics of the van der Pol oscillator as realized by the Meissner circuit is discussed by analogy to the beat phenomenon and by a consequent analysis of current balance. The current balance method leads to a new, very accurate equation for the dependence of the oscillator frequency on the feedback parameter. Several aspects of entrainment (existence, limited frequency range, dependence on parameters, phase shift) can be explained, too. Numerical results are presented which have been obtained by solving the homogeneous and inhomogeneous van der Pol equation with a Runge-Kutta method.
