nonlinear oscillator with amplitude-dependent damping that settles into a self-sustained limit cycle, the model for relaxation oscillations.

In dynamical systems, van der Pol oscillator refers to nonlinear oscillator with amplitude-dependent damping that settles into a self-sustained limit cycle, the model for relaxation oscillations. This meaning comes from van der Pol (1926) in The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science.[1]
