The Van der Pol oscillator was originally proposed by the Dutch electrical engineer and physicist Balthasar van der Pol while he was working at Philips. [2] Van der Pol found stable oscillations, [3] which he subsequently called relaxation-oscillations [4] and are now known as a type of limit cycle, in electrical circuits employing vacuum tubes.

Phase portrait of van der Pol's equation, + + =. Simple pendulum, see picture (right). Simple harmonic oscillator where the phase portrait is made up of ellipses centred at the origin, which is a fixed point. Damped harmonic motion, see animation (right).

In this case, a sketch of the phase portrait may give qualitative information about the dynamics of the system, such as the limit cycle of the Van der Pol oscillator shown in the diagram. Here the horizontal axis gives the position, and vertical axis the velocity.
It was named after Richard FitzHugh (1922–2007) [2] who suggested the system in 1961 [3] and Jinichi Nagumo et al. who created the equivalent circuit the following year. [4]In the original papers of FitzHugh, this model was called Bonhoeffer–Van der Pol oscillator (named after Karl-Friedrich Bonhoeffer and Balthasar van der Pol) because it contains the Van der Pol oscillator as a special ...
Van der Pol was concerned with obtaining approximate solutions for equations of the type ¨ + ˙ + =, where (, ˙,) = ˙ following the previous notation. This system is often called the Van der Pol oscillator. Applying periodic averaging to this nonlinear oscillator provides qualitative knowledge of the phase space without solving the system ...
English: Triode circuit providing a forced van der Pol oscillator, consisting of a triode, resistance (R), self inductor (L), capacitor (C), mutual inductance (M) and a sinusoidal source (E s). Further i a is the plate current and u g the grid voltage.
