Abstract We present a perturbation solution for a linear oscillator with a variable damping coefficient involving the limit cycle of the van der Pol equation (van der Pol 1926). This equation arises as the variational equation governing the stability of in-phase vibration in a pair of identical van der Pol oscillators with linear coupling. The van der Pol oscillator has served as the classic example of a limit cycle oscillator, and coupled limit cycle oscillators appear in mathematical models of self-excited systems ranging from tube rows in cross flow heat exchangers to arrays of stomates in plant leaves. As in many systems modeled by coupled oscillators, criteria for phase-locking or synchronization are of fundamental importance in understanding the dynamics. In this paper we study a simple but interesting problem consisting of a pair of identical van der Pol oscillators with linear diffusive coupling which corresponds, in the mechanical analogy, to a spring connecting the masses of the two oscillators. Intuition and earlier first-order analyses suggest that the spring will pull the two masses together causing stable in-phase locking. However, previous results of a relaxation limit study (Storti and Rand 1986) indicate that the in-phase mode is not always stable and suggest the existence of an additional stability boundary. To resolve the apparent discrepancy, we obtain a new periodic solution of the variational equation as a power series in ε, the small parameter in the sinusoidal van de Pol oscillator. This approach follows Andersen and Geer’s (1982) solution for the limit cycle of an isolated van der Pol oscillator. The coupling strength corresponding to the periodic solution of the variational equation defines an additional stability transition curve which has only been observed previously in the relaxation limit. We show that this transition curve, which provides a consistent connection between the sinusoidal and relaxation limits, is O(ε2) and could not have been delected in O(ε) analyses. We determine the analytical expression for this stability transition curve to O(ε31) and show very favorable agreement with numerical results we obtained using an Adams-Gear method.

In this work we study a system of two van der Pol oscillators, x and y, coupled via a “bath” z: x¨−ε(1−x2)x˙+x=k(z−x)y¨−ε(1−y2)y˙+y=k(z−y)z˙=k(x−z)+k(y−z) We investigate the existence and stability of the in-phase and out-of-phase modes for parameters ε > 0 and k > 0. To this end we use Floquet theory and numerical integration. Surprisingly, our results show that the out-of-phase mode exists and is stable for a wider range of parameters than is the in-phase mode. This behavior is compared to that of two directly coupled van der Pol oscillators, and it is shown that the effect of the bath is to reduce the stability of the in-phase mode. We also investigate the occurrence of other periodic motions by using bifurcation theory and the AUTO bifurcation and continuation software package. Our motivation for studying this system comes from the presence of circadian rhythms in the chemistry of the eyes. We present a simplified model of a circadian oscillator which shows that it can be modeled as a van der Pol oscillator. Although there is no direct connection between the two eyes, they can influence each other by affecting the concentration of melatonin in the bloodstream, which is represented by the bath in our model.

This paper deals with the dynamics and active control of a driven multi-limit-cycle Van der Pol oscillator. The amplitude of the oscillatory states both in the autonomous and nonautonomous case are derived. The interaction between the amplitudes of the external excitation and the limit-cycles are also analyzed. The domain of the admissible values on the amplitude for the external excitation is found. The effects of the control parameter on the behavior of a driven multi-limit-cycle Van der Pol model are analyzed and it appears that with the appropriate selection of the coupling parameter, the quenching of chaotic vibrations takes place.

In this paper, asymptotic and numerical methods are used to study the phenomenon of stochastic Hopf bifurcation. The analysis is carried out through the study of a noisy Duffing-van der Pol oscillator which exhibits a Hopf bifurcation in the absence of noise as one of the parameters is varied. In the first part of this paper, we present an introduction to the theory of random dynamical systems (in particular, their generation, their invariant measures, the multiplicative ergodic theorem, and Lyapunov exponents). We then present the two concepts of stochastic bifurcation theory: Phenomenological (based on the Fokker-Planck equation), and dynamical (based on Lyapunov exponents). The method of stochastic averaging of the nonlinear system yields a set of equations which, together with its variational equation, can be explicitly solved and hence its bifurcation behavior completely analyzed. We augment this analysis by asymptotic expansions of the Lyapunov exponents of the variational equation at zero. Finally, the stochastic normal form of the noisy Duffing-van der Pol oscillator is derived, and its bifurcation behavior is analyzed numerically. The result is that the (truncated) normal form retains the essential bifurcation characteristics of the full equation.

Abstrak: Di dalam tulisan ini disajikan analisa kestabilan, diselidiki eksistensi dan kestabilan limit cycle, dan ditentukan solusi pendekatan dengan menggunakan metode multiple scale dari persamaan Van der Pol. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam tiga tahapan metode. Pertama, menganalisa perilaku dinamik persamaan Van der Pol di sekitar ekuilibrium, meliputi transformasi persamaan ke sistem persamaan, analisa kestabilan persamaan melalui linearisasi, dan analisa kemungkinan terjadinya bifukasi pada persamaan. Kedua, membuktikan eksistensi dan kestabilan limit cycle dari persamaan Van der Pol dengan menggunakan teorema Lienard. Ketiga, menentukan solusi pendekatan dari persamaan Van der Pol dengan menggunakan metode multiple scale. Hasil penelitian adalah, berdasarkan variasi nilai parameter kekuatan redaman, daerah kestabilan dari persamaan Van der Pol terbagi menjadi tiga. Untuk parameter kekuatan redaman bernilai positif mengakibatkan ekuilibrium tidak stabil, dan sebaliknya, untuk parameter kekuatan redaman bernilai negatif mengakibatkan ekuilibrium stabil asimtotik, serta tanpa kekuatan redaman mengakibatkan ekuilibrium stabil. Pada kondisi tanpa kekuatan redaman, persamaan Van der Pol memiliki solusi periodik dan mengalami bifurkasi hopf. Selain itu, dengan menggunakan teorema Lienard dapat dibuktikan bahwa solusi periodik dari persamaan Van der Pol berupa limit cycle yang stabil. Pada akhirnya, dengan menggunakan metode multiple scale dan memberikan variasi nilai amplitudo awal dapat ditunjukkan bahwa solusi persamaan Van der Pol konvergen ke solusi periodik dengan periode dua. Abstract: In this paper, the stability analysis is given, the existence and stability of the limit cycle are investigated, and the approach solution is determined using the multiple scale method of the Van der Pol equation. This research was conducted in three stages of method. First, analyzing the dynamic behavior of the equation around the equilibrium, including the transformation of equations into a system of equations, analysis of the stability of equations through linearization, and analysis of the possibility of bifurcation of the equations. Second, the existence and stability of the limit cycle of the equation are proved using the Lienard theorem. Third, the approach solution of the Van der Pol equation is determined using the multiple scale method. Our results, based on variations in the values of the damping strength parameters, the stability region of the Van der Pol equation is divided into three types. For the positive value, it is resulting in unstable equilibrium, and contrary, for the negative value, it is resulting in asymptotic stable equilibrium, and without the damping force, it is resulting in stable equilibrium. In conditions without damping force, the Van der Pol equation has a periodic solution and has hopf bifurcation. In addition, by using the Lienard theorem, it is proven that the periodic solution is a stable limit cycle. Finally, by using the multiple scale method with varying the initial amplitude values, it is shown that the solution of the Van der Pol equation is converge to a periodic solution with a period of two.

Abstract The asymptotic limit-cycle analysis of mathematical models for oscillating chemical reactions is presented. In this work, after a brief presentation of mathematical preliminaries applied to the biased Van der Pol oscillator, we consider a two-dimensional model of the Chlorine dioxide Iodine Malonic-Acid (CIMA) reactions and the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Oregonator models of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the relaxation-oscillation periods of these chemical reactions that are accurate within 5% of their numerical values. In the two-dimensional CIMA and Oregonator models, we also derive critical parameter values leading to canard explosions and implosions in their associated limit cycles.

Abstract In this paper, we try to discuss the mechanism of synchronization or cluster synchronization in the coupled Van der Pol oscillator networks with different topology types by using the theory of rotating periodic solutions. The synchronous solutions here are transformed into rotating periodic solutions of some dynamical systems. By analyzing the bifurcation of rotating periodic solutions, the critical conditions of synchronous solutions are given in three different networks. We use the rotating periodic matrix in the rotating periodic theory to judge various types of synchronization phenomena, such as complete synchronization, anti-phase synchronization, periodic synchronization, or cluster synchronization. All rotating periodic matrices which satisfy the exchange invariance of multiple oscillators form special groups in these networks. By using the conjugate classes of these groups, we obtain various possible synchronization solutions in the three networks. In particular, we find symmetry has different effects on synchronization in different networks. The network with better symmetry has more elements in the corresponding group, which may have more types of synchronous solutions. However, different types of symmetry may get the same type of synchronous solutions or different types of synchronous solutions, depending on whether their corresponding rotating periodic matrices are similar.

SynopsisLittlewood showed that the forced Van der Pol oscillator with 0<b<⅔ and k large normally has subharmonic solutions of order 2n + l where n ≅ O([⅔−b]k). Numerical experiments suggest that n ≅ (⅔ –b)k/3 as k →∞. A refinement of Littlewood's calculation is given which leads to this result.
