Examining the Van der Pol Oscillator: Stability and Bifurcation Analysis
Abstract
In this paper, Van der pol equation has been analyzed for stability and bifurcation phenomena with and without forcing component. Analytical solution of the Van der pol equation using Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is compared with numerical results obtained using MATLAB ode45 solver. Limit cycle analysis has been performed at increasing order of nonlinear damping term. Different scenarios of bifurcation have been studied with variation in control parameters.
