TL;DR: Van der Pol's equation for a relaxation oscillator is generalized by the addition of terms to produce a pair of non-linear differential equations with either a stable singular point or a limit cycle, which qualitatively resembles Bonhoeffer's theoretical model for the iron wire model of nerve.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A class of low-order models for vortex-induced vibrations is analyzed in this article, where a van der Pol equation is used to describe the near wake dynamics describing the fluctuating nature of vortex shedding and several types of linear coupling terms modelling the fluid-structure interaction are considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, a geometric analysis of relaxation oscillations and canard cycles in singularly perturbed planar vector fields is presented. But the analysis is restricted to the case of singular cycles and does not consider the case where the transition from small Hopf-type cycles to large relaxation cycles occurs in an exponentially thin parameter interval.
