Comments on the method of harmonic balance

TL;DR: In this article, the advantages and limitations of the harmonic-balance or describing-function approximation scheme for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations of oscillatory motion are discussed; the limitation rules are essentially those described by Mickens (1983).
