Abstract

Shooting, finite difference or Harmonic Balance techniques in conjunction with Newton's method are widely employed for the numerical calculation of limit cycles of oscillators. The resulting set of nonlinear equations are normally solved by damped Newton's method. In some cases however divergence occurs when the initial estimate of the solution is not close enough to the exact one. A two-dimensional homotopy method is presented in this paper which overcomes this problem. The resulting linear set of equations employing Newton's method is under-determined and is solved in a least squares sense for which a rigorous mathematical basis can be derived.
