Abstract

Oscillators are omnipresent; most of them are inherently non-linear. Though a non-linear equation mostly does not yield an exact analytical solution for itself, plethora of elementary yet practical techniques exist for extracting important information about the solution of equation. The purpose of this review is to introduce the readers to such techniques which are carefully illustrated using mainly the examples of anharmonic oscillator, Van-der-Pol oscillator and Duffing's oscillator.
