Continuing on the switch nonlinearity
1
G(s) =
(s + 1)
3
Equation for the existence of sustained oscillations:
1
Another case:
1
G(s) =
s(s + 1)
Can there exist sustained oscillations?
2
Computing describing functions for sinusoidal signals
Example: Switch nonlinearity
Now for the real Math
3
More real math! - Hopefully not too many mistakes
