Systematic designing of bi-rhythmic and tri-rhythmic models in families of Van der Pol and Rayleigh oscillators

Abstract

Van der Pol and Rayleigh oscillators are two traditional paradigms of nonlinear dynamics. They can be subsumed into a general form of Liénard--Levinson--Smith(LLS) system. Based on a recipe for finding out maximum number of limit cycles possible for a class of LLS oscillator, we propose here a scheme for systematic designing of generalised Rayleigh and Van der Pol families of oscillators with a desired number of multiple limit cycles. Numerical simulations are explicitly carried out for systematic search of the parameter space for bi-rhythmic and tri-rhythmic systems and their higher order variants.
