Can we use Mathematica for electronics design?
An example of electronics design is the design of amplifiers using operation amplifiers (op amps). One common configuration is the inverting amplifier depicted below in a schematic entered in LTSpice (...

Estimation of parameters of limit cycles for systems of high-order differential equations (n> = 3)
These aren't actual limit cycles and what you're looking for has a fuzzy definition (notice how the amplitude increases in each pass). However this is still fun to play with, so let's see what we can ...

Why does NonlinearStateSpaceModel linearise?
Consider a model where the nonlinearity is in $x'(t)$ and not in the highest derivative $x''(t)$.

How is this StateSpaceModel derived?
The standard method depends on what is called state space realization. Which
involves determining $A,B,C,D$ from the transfer function of the ODE.
The standard form of state space representation is
