A generalized van der Pol oscillator is considered, with the positive real power nonlinearities in the restoring and damping force, including fractional powers. An analytical approach based on the Krylov–Bogoliubov method is utilized to derive approximate expressions for the amplitude of a limit cycle for small values of the damping coefficient.

Abstract

A generalized van der Pol oscillator is considered, with the positive real power nonlinearities in the restoring and damping force, including fractional powers. An analytical approach based on the Krylov–Bogoliubov method is utilized to derive approximate expressions for the amplitude of a limit cycle for small values of the damping coefficient. Matched asymptotic expansions are used to study relaxation oscillations for larger values of the damping coefficient. The influence of the powers of the restoring and damping force on the properties of these oscillations is investigated.
