Table 1 Effect of the parameter m on iterations to converge and the error of close-form solutions of the steady-state PDF of the van der Pol oscillator under Gaussian white noise excitations.  function with a relatively large m can help the assumed solution to capture the peculiar shape of the steady-state PDF of strongly nonlinear van der Pol oscillator. For lightly damped van der Pol oscillator, the weighting function with m= 1 is sufficient.
