Video 1 provides a short presentation of the solver cycle.
Video 2 shows how cycle
can be stop to compute a positive invariant set associated to a stable
invariant set. Here, we have chosen the Van der Pol system.
Video 3 shows how cycle
can be used to to detect all invariant sets associated to a non-linear
system. This is illustrated here on the Van der Pol system, where we are
able to detect 4 invariant sets: the cycle, the equilibrium point, the
union of them and the limit cycle with its interior.
Video 4 shows how cycle can compare our method with a griding method.
