TL;DR: The paper outlines sane interesting methods for the accurate prediction of limit cycles in a large range of single-variable and multivariate nonlinear free structured systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ability of a digital simulation language to find and to continue to track unstable limit cycles in nonlinear feedback systems and confirmed the relative stability of the limit cycles predicted by this method.

TL;DR: How the improvements made in computer technology during the last thirty years have changed the approaches to both simulation and analytical control system design methods has led to closer links between simulation and analysis, and their integration in software packages on powerful workstations.
