  1. This paper presents a time-invariant extremum seeking controller (ESC) for nonlinear autonomous systems with limit cycles. For this time-invariant ESC, we propose a method to prove the closed loop system has an asymptotically stable limit cycle. The method is based on a perturbation theorem for maps, and, unlike existing techniques that use averaging and singular perturbation tools, it is not limited to weakly nonlinear systems. We use a typical example system to show that our method does indeed establish asymptotic stability of the limit cycle with minimal amplitude. Utilizing the example, we provide a general guide for analytic computations that are required to apply our method. The corresponding Mathematica code is available as supplementary material.
