An Ordinary Differential Equation which can be derived from the Rayleigh Differential Equation by
differentiating and setting . It is an equation describing self-sustaining oscillations in which energy is fed into
small oscillations and removed from large oscillations. This equation arises in the study of circuits containing vacuum
tubes and is given by
