Limit Cycle

The document discusses dynamical systems and the concept of limit cycles, which are closed trajectories in phase space that can exhibit stable or unstable behavior depending on certain conditions. It provides examples, including a simple pendulum and the van der Pol oscillator, to illustrate periodic attractors and their properties. The stability of limit cycles is determined by the behavior of nearby trajectories over time.
