Lesson 14: Van der Pol's Circuit and ode23s
The Van der Pol equation can be formulated as a model for an LRC circuit that is coupled to a triode circuit. For suitable values of L, R and C this will generate rapidly pulsating currents, and in this case, the system of differential equations is very stiff. Matlab's stiff solver ode23s will be used to study the solutions.
