Computation of multiple limit cycles in nonlinear control systems – a describing function approach

Limit cycles play an important role in nonlinear systems, provided that many control loops with common nonlinearities like relay, hysteresis, and saturation can present them. Thus, a proper description of this nonlinear phenomenon is highly desirable. A strategy for the linearized analysis is the de...
