Abstract

A computer program is described for investigating the practical stability and ultimate boundedness of nonlinear 2nd-order autonomous systems. The program is based upon the ‘tracking function’ method. The Van der Pol equation, a chemical-reactor system and a negative-resistance oscillator are analysed as examples.
