Question

Van der Pol’s equation is a nonlinear model for some oscillatory processes. It is

\(\ddot{y}-b\left(1-y^{2}\right) \dot{y}+y=0\)

Use a numerical method to solve for and plot the solution for the following cases:

1. \(b=0.1, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=1,0 \leq t \leq 25\)

2. \(b=0.1, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=3,0 \leq t \leq 25\)

3. \(b=3, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=1,0<t<25\)

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 5 problem number 37 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Van der Pol’s equation is a nonlinear model for some oscillatory processes. It is\(\ddot{y}-b\left(1-y^{2}\right) \dot{y}+y=0\)Use a numerical method to solve for and plot the solution for the following cases: 1. \(b=0.1, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=1,0 \leq t \leq 25\)2. \(b=0.1, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=3,0 \leq t \leq 25\)3. \(b=3, y(0)=\dot{y}(0)=1,0&lt;t&lt;25\)
From the textbook chapter Block Diagrams, State-Variable Models, and Simulation Methods you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
