Nonperturbative (but approximate) method for solving differential equations and finding limit cycles. (English) Zbl 1051.65505

Summary: A nonperturbative method for solving differential equations and for finding limit cycles is proposed and is illustrated on the anharmonic oscillator and on the Van der Pol equation. It is shown to give the amplitude, period, and equation of the limit cycle with a better accuracy than any perturbative results so far obtained.
