Consider the famous Van Der Pol system:

x' = y

y’ = ay(1-x^2)-x

Where a is for example 2.

Is there any way to find its limit cycle (attached picture) based on the equations and not simulating the system? Note that I don’t mean finding whether limit cycle exists or not. I mean determining its exact shape and location.
