The Van der Pol Oscillator



Presented here is a numerical solution to the Van der PolOscillator. The form of the ODE’s has been chosen from Hairer et al. The equations are:


The Initial conditions y1(0)=-0.5, y2(0)=0, A = 2.008619861. The non-linearity in the equations is fairly clear from the plots below. The solution of y1 remains stable for several seconds between sudden changes in response, clearly following the behavior of y2.
