Question:

Use numerical calculations to find a solution for the van der Pol oscillator of Equation 4.19. Let x0 and w0 equal 1 for simplicity. Plot the phase diagram, x(t) and x(t) for the following conditions.
(a) μ = 0.07, x0 = 1.0, x0 = 0 at t = 0;
(b) μ = 0.07, x0 = 3.0, x0 = 0 at t = 0.Discuss the motion; does the motion appear to approach a limit cycle?
