Newton’s third law of motion states that there can never be a single force (action) without its opposite (reaction) partner. Action and reaction forces always act in opposite directions on two different objects. ...

Hunting oscillation

Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
