The paper proposes an original numerical criterion for the duration analysis of non-chaotic transients based on the Euclidean norm of a properly defined vector. For this purpose, transient trajectories, prior to their entering a small neighbourhood of the limit cycle, are used. The vector has been defined with its components constituting the lengths of the sections, which connect the origin of the coordinate system with appropriately determined transient trajectory points. The norm of the vector for the analysis of non-chaotic transients has also been applied. As an assessment criterion of transients, the convergence of the norm to small neighbourhood of the limit cycle with the assumed accuracy is used. The paper also provides examples of the application of this criterion to the Van der Pol oscillators in the case of periodic oscillations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
