The describing function method (DFM, which is also known as harmonic balance method), is a widely used approximate method (that is, not rigorously mathematically substantiated) of searching for oscillations which are close to the harmonic periodic oscillations of non-linear dynamical systems. But it

Moreover, these pages get translated into localized versions of
Knowledge, and so references that require a little extra legwork to be useful in English may be immediately useful in some of the localized versions. Regardless, plenty of academic papers (and encyclopedia articles) reference sources in

or Kalman conjectures are fulfilled, there is no periodic solutions by DFM, but counterexamples with periodic solutions are well known (Bragin V.O., Vagaitsev V.I., Kuznetsov N.V., Leonov G.A., Algorithms for

I think (IMO) the article does an OK job explaining that the DFM is an approximate method. However, certainly comments on its limitations could be added. There are only a few hints in the current text that the DFM may not be appropriate in all cases. So I think you should be

is well known that DFM can lead to incorrect results. Such examples for the first time have been presented by
Tzypkin in a bang-bane systems (Tsypkin Ya.Z., Relay Control Systems. Cambridge: Univ Press; 1984).
