limit cycles

limit cycles
An attractor for non-linear dynamic systems which has periodic cycles or orbits in phase space. An example is an undamped pendulum which will have a closed circle orbit equal to the amplitude of the pendulum's swing. Bloomberg Financial Dictionary
See: attractor, phase space. Bloomberg Financial Dictionary
